You can get a copy of the standard from the IEEE. Call 
 1-800-CS-BOOKS with you Visa/MC and as for IEEE Std 1003.1-1988.

I have a book coming out in September.  I will be published by
O'Reilly & Associates.  Call them and ask to be notified when
it becomes available.  I believe it will be called "POSIX in a 
Nutshell" or something like that.  O'Reilly is at
	1-800-336-6887 (usa)
	1-800-533-6887 (CA)
	1-707-829-0515 (international)
	uunet!ora!nuts
	nuts@ora.com

My book will be both cheaper and more readable that the standard.

I look forward to reading it.  But I'm sorry, the standard is more existing
than your book at this point.

If you can't read the standard, but must understand immediately,
I'd suggest the X/Open Portability Guide, Issue 3, Volume 2.
