- The above is the first I've heard of such a thing. The most
- recently reviewed drafts of POSIX.2 and POSIX.2a, which cover the
- Shell & Utilities area, don't seem to mention any such things. I
- think that you can purchase these drafts, which are still in balloting
- last I heard, from the IEEE Standards Office in New Jersey.
-
- I miss the snitch reports on what is going on and would welcome any
- informative (as differentiated from speculative) commentary on the
- future plans for the Shell & Utilities effort (or other related TCOS
- efforts for that matter :-).
