- Speaking of SPEC1170, Peter said
-
- "*sigh* It's a vast list of basically every function ever offered by a Unix
- like environment, in one vast spec. It's at least a few months old, and
- you can look it up in bookstores on CD-ROM.

- Yes, I tracked it down, but not in my list of standards. As far as I can
- tell this is neither a national or international standard, just some
- informally agreed on list. If there is a standard, can someone give
- the reference. Also if it is a standard, is there indeed a formal
- validation procedure? If so, can someone give the reference for this.
- Peter, I would find specific answers to these questions more infomative
- than sighs.
-
- Yes, I know that Unix has advanced, but has it really advanced to the
- point of being standardized and having formal certification/validation
- procedures.
-
- I certainly thought not, and that is what started this thread after all!
