Summary: Posix.1e

[winni () xpilot org (Winfried Truemper)]

Four weeks ago, I asked bugtraq readers about their opinion on Posix.1e.
A summary of all information I got is available under the address
http://www.guug.de/~winni/posix.1e/. I will try to update this page
regulary.

Folks, this subject is so unknown that I did not even get any flames. :-)

A few people asked me, where to get the standards paper. The technical
Editor, Casey Schaufler <casey () sgi com> sent me an electronic copy of the
document (5 MB in size). The document and the webpages of the IEEE
clearly state, that I can't make the document available for download
without the permission of the IEEE. So I asked them (and re-asked them),
but did not get a final answer yet.

Robert Watson has set up "a cross-platform mailing list to discuss the
POSIX-related issues and to gather modifications to the draft
to get a more consistent specification".  The subscription-address is
posix1e-request () cyrus watson org.
