- "Certainly. In order for an OS to be able to call itself UNIX(tm) it must
- be validated again standards such as POSIX and SPEC1170."
-
- There is no official validation procedure for POSIX, and in any case
- Unix does not have to support POSIX (almost no unixes to day are
- fully POSIX compliant, I am not sure that *any* are 100% complaint).
-
- I do not know what SPEC1170 is???
-
- Maybe you are using "validation" in some odd non-standard sense??
