[comp.std.misc] OSI References

balavi@PacBell.COM (Behzad Alavi) (07/23/89)

The OSI reference list is growing and getting richer.  In fact,
in the future, I'll break it into three separate lists of BOOKS,
Periodicals, or Products for posting.

Please keep sending me your information, and as soon as there
is enough updates, I'll post a summary.

Following is an up-to-date list.  The new additions have been
identified on the RIGHT MARGIN with "|".

             published every four years.  They are referenced by        
             the color of their cover.  (1984-Red; 1980-Yellow

        My "R" to several who asked about a more clear reference to
        this has bounced.  So, hopefully this clarifies it a bit.

EXCERPT from Interface:

       " Interface is published by Communications, IBM, Research Triangle
         Park, NC (North Carolina, USA --BA), for circulation to technical
         professionals.  Suggestions for future issues should be sent to
         Clinton Hawes, 605/002-3 (Hawes at RALVM18).  Additional copies
         may be ordered from Mechanicsburg, Form Number GG23-0002-01.
         Wait approximately one month."

     I had three requests for this from the USA, and one from Norway 
     with bounced replies.

     I hope this makes it to Norway, because the US readership may have
     a better chance of finding this through their IBM contacts anyway.
