Dear Don Ault,

Thank you very very much for your wonderful reply!!!

I care about the shell and utilities difference between Unix95 and Unix03 
for zOS Unix. I've gone through Unix95 and Unix03 shell and utilities 
standard publication and my question is:* Is there any detailed documents 
about "what's new/difference" about a shell or utility (eg. sed)?* I mean 
the shell and utility description of Unix03/Unix95 standard publication is 
too long (more than 30 pages) and the change history is too short (less than 
10 lines). I just want to know the detailed difference between different 
Unix standards about a shell and utility. Any suggestions are welcome and 
appreciated!
  Thank you!
 Best Regards,
Xie Bo
