Could someone please tell me how I can get a copy of the POSIX Draft that deals with the standard for UNIX. I believe it is IEEE 1003 Draft 12. I have not been reading this list recently so I may have missed this information. Please reply directly. Thanks in advance. Michael Laufer mlaufer@bbn.com (301) 290-5000

I don't think this info has been up on the net in a while. So I'm posting it. The address IEEE gives if you're interested in participating in new standards efforts seems also to be the location that Draft 12.3 of P1003.1 will be available. It's a 400+ page document and will undoubtedly cost $$money$$ for printing and delivery.

The POSIX draft standard can be ordered from the IEEE at:
IEEE Service Center
445 Hoes Lane, P.O. Box 1331
Piscataway, NJ 08855-1331
or you can call 201-562-5346 between 8 and 4 EST and place a credit card order.
It is listed as `1003.1 (Draft American National Standard) Trial-Use
Standard Portable Operating System for Computer Environments.'
The order number is SH10546. The standard costs $23 plus shipping and
tax if you are in New Jersey. IEEE members get 30% off the price.
The standard can also be ordered from Global Engineering Documents,
(800)854-7179.
Hope this helps.

Caution: The Trial-Use Standard is a quite different document from the Draft that is currently being balloted. (Among other things it's about 1/2 as thick as the draft, due as much to formatting changes as to content). The current draft is not generally available at this time, as it is not a published document. It is still an "internal use only" draft. When it is approved (very soon, I hope) and the printing process completes, it will be available as an IEEE and ANSI standard. The addresses given here are correct to order the Trial-Use standard.

You do *NOT* want this book; it is over a year out of date. This is the "Trial-Use" standard, not the Draft Full-Use standard that is nearing approval. > The standard can also be ordered from Global Engineering Documents, > (800)854-7179. I have no idea what this version might be. The response from Ian Kluft gives a channel to get the correct document. Dave Decot hpda!decot
