Darren,
No. The UNIX conformance test suites are owned by The Open
Group. Our license does not permit disclosure. However, Roland has
submitted a request for a sponsor to provide an OpenSource sed.
Roland's Sun sponsor will have access to the test suites. (This has
been done in the past for issues related to ksh93 builtins used as
replacements for other standard utilities. The players involved were
Roland, David Korn, and Glenn Fowler with April Chin as the sponsor.)
