- Yes, you have to implement it, if you claim XPG4 conformance with XCU4
- commands. Note that you can claim XPG4 conformance with XPG3 commands,
- or anything in between, as long as you describe the differences between
- yours and either XCU4 or XPG3 Volume 1. Get the branding information
- (including the XPG4 Conformance Questionnaires) from X/Open for more details.

- All of lint, cc, and dis are Development utilities. You don't have
- to implement them unless you want to claim the Development option.
-
- You don't ever have to implement dis, since it's an optional part of the
- Development option. lint can often be implemented substantially
- with an ANSI C compiler (or a modified ANSI C compiler).
-
- Talk to X/Open for a full description of the required and optional
- pieces of XCU4.
