Where could one order copies of the POSIX standard(s)?  I am
specifically looking for system and library call definitions.
Thanks,

From: Deepak Seth <deepaks@coil.cs.orst.edu>

the effects of POSIX in the future.  Whether POSIX is a good standard
and what effect will it have on UNIX users.  I was wondering if anybody
out there knows about any FREE references sources on POSIX standards.
I need this info by 12/1/88.  Regards

Watch comp.std.unix for the quarterly USENIX-sponsored commentary
from Shane McCarron; that's the only free POSIX advice I know of.
