From: davecb@yunexus.uucp (David Collier-Brown) I wonder if anything significant has changed since the August 1987 (!) draft pertaining to bills of materials. I note that at that time the BOM files resided in /usr/lib, and the structure seemed limited to vendor-provided utilities, not "layered products" or third-part products. And I note that the System V "install" procedures seem directed toward vendor-provided utilities. Has any consideration been taken of the large (indeed, **very** large) number of third-party products that one would normally install using a common mechnaism, but in a non-system directory hierarchy. --dave (who follows the standards more in the breach...) c-b -- David Collier-Brown, | davecb@yunexus, ...!yunexus!davecb or 72 Abitibi Ave., | {toronto area...}lethe!dave Willowdale, Ontario, | Joyce C-B: CANADA. 416-223-8968 | He's so smart he's dumb.
