considerations that arise from attempting to make their  products
compliant with IEEE Standard 1003.1.  The first day of the workshop
will consist of presentations of brief position papers describing
experiences,  dilemmas,  and  solutions.  On the second day it is
planned to form smaller focus  groups  to  brainstorm  additional
solutions,  dig  deeper into specific areas, and attempt to forge
common approaches to some of the dilemmas.  Suggestions for topic
areas and position papers include:

C Language Issues               Internationalization
Networked/Distributed Implementations   Pipes and FIFOs
Timer resolution, ranges        Signals
Conformance verification        Security concerns
Job control, process groups     Limits: documentation and inquiry
Implications for user interfaces Implications for commands
