- Not to prolong this beyond reason, but I am also the Technical Editor
- of P1003.2 and I can assure you that I have not yet produced the final
- standard document. If Jeremy saw a document labeled IEEE Std 1003.2-1992,
- there are two possibilities: (1) The IEEE is selling the Draft 12 I sent
- them with some misleading cover; (2) Jeremy spent a little too much time
- on Bourbon St before looking at the doc. :-)
-
- In any event, the real standard should be out in the April or May timeframe;
- I hope it will be available at the Irvine meeting. It all depends on
- when the overworked IEEE editor completes her blue-pencil run on D12.
