From: andrew@st1.vuw.ac.nz (Andrew Greer) Does anybody have, or can tell me where I can get, an overview of the P1003.1 standard. I am looking for a description of what it is and the basic functionality it provides without having to wade through the standard. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

From: ralph%ralmar.uucp@apple.com UniForum (formerly /usr/group) has three current publications which provide overviews of POSIX: 1. "Your Guide to POSIX" - an executive-level overview of the standard 2. "POSIX Explored: System Interface" - an overview for technical managers, etc. 3. a white paper called "Standards Update: Shell and Utilities" a snapshot of the current status of P1003.2, which is currently in balloting These publications were distributed to UniForum general members as part of their membership benefits, but are available to non-members as well. Call 408-986-8840 for ordering info. Disclaimer: I work for UniForum, was involved in the publishing of these pamphlets, and continue to be involved in the association's standards activities, but I still think the books are great. (Hal Jespersen, chair of P1003.2 did most of the work.) --- Ralph Barker, RALMAR Business Systems, 640 So Winchester Blvd, San Jose,CA 95128 uucp: ...{pyramid, sun, uunet}!amdahl!unixprt!ralmar!ralph or, attmail!ralmar!ralph Voice: (408) 248-8649 Volume-Number: Volume 18, Number 51
