POSIX and the Single Unix Spec have been merged into a single new standard known as the Austin Group specifications (aka IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 / The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 6).
The result of this effort is now available: From: Andrew Josey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2002 07:18:55 GMT > The Open Group is pleased to announce that it is taking > orders for the hardcopy published version of the Austin Group > specifications (aka IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 / The Open Group > Base Specifications Issue 6). > > The faxback order form for the hardcopy document > is now online at: > > http://www.opengroup.org/publications/order_forms/order.html > > This is a limited on demand print run. > Orders needs to be placed and paid for before January 31st. > Expect shipment about 4 weeks after that date. > For multiple orders of 5 or more please contact us > for discount rates. > > The Austin Group Specification is also available in other media formats > (pdf and CDROM) from both IEEE and The Open Group, please > consult your contacts at IEEE for information, or > see the publications catalog at The Open Group > http://www.opengroup.org/products/publications/catalog/un.htm > (documents T950X, C950, C951, C952, C953). The thing costs 182 GBP or 370 USD (including shipment), and covers base definitions, API, shell/utilities and rationale (4 documents, formerly known as POSIX.1 and POSIX.2). Perhaps still a bit much for a private student budget, but definitely worth a purchase suggestion for your local university or corporate libraries. Markus -- Markus G.
