The Generic ABI, which describes all non-processor specific features and the We32000 supplement are available now. Their ISBN numbers are: generic: 0-13-877598-2 We32000: 0-13-877606-7 The rest should be available in around 3 months(except the MIPS which should be available in the fall) due to the lag between completion of the document and printing. BCSs document Release 3.2 based systems and are available from 88open for the M88000, from Motorola for the M68000, from Intel for the 386, from AT&T for the We32000 and the Generic Portion. AT&T BCS documents are available from our CIC (Customer Information Center). The Select Codes are 320-168 for the generic and 320-169 for the We32000 Supplement. You may also order the ABIs through CIC if you wish, though you will probably find that your local bookstore can serve you better. Additionally, the System V Interface Definition, Third Edition is currently available from CIC. The Select code is 320-135 for the four volume set. Ry Schwark rye@attunix.att.com
