UniForum publishes ``CommUNIXations,'' a member magazine that features articles by industry leaders and observers, technical issues, standards coverage, and new product announcements. UniForum also publishes the ``UNIX Products Directory,'' which lists products and services developed specifically for the UNIX operating system. ``UniNews'', formerly ``/usr/digest'', is also published by UniForum. This newsletter covers product announcements and industry projections, and is sent biweekly to General members of UniForum and to non-member subscribers. UniForum has long been deeply involved in UNIX standardization, having sponsored the ``/usr/group 1984 Standard,'' providing an Institutional Representative to the IEEE P1003 Portable Operating System for Computer Environments Committee, and sponsoring the UniForum Technical Committee on areas that P1003 has not yet addressed. They publish the documents, ``Your Guide to POSIX,'' explaining what IEEE 1003 is, ``POSIX Explored: System Interface,'' about technical aspects of IEEE 1003.1, and its relations to other standards and historical implementations, and ``POSIX Update: Shell and Utilities.'' They also funded production of a draft of a ``Rationale and Notes'' appendix for IEEE 1003.1. -- Peter Renzland @ Ontario Ministry of Health 416/964-9141 peter@ontmoh.UUCP UniForum Canada Director /* UFC office: 259-8122 usrgroup@utgpu */
