From: apple!netcom!hinton (Greg Hinton) Would someone please explain the differences between POSIX & X/Open? They look to me like they're very much duplicating each other's efforts & coming up with almost identical results. That is, IEEE 1003.1 looks like XSI 2 & IEEE 1003.2 looks like XSI 1. Am I overlooking something? Greg Hinton INET: hinton@netcom.uucp UUCP: ...!uunet!apple!netcom!hinton "I've never let school get in the way of my education." Volume-Number: Volume 16, Number 58
