- This is the first article in Volume 10 of mod.std.unix, which is a
- special volume containing nothing but indexes, tables of contents,
- summaries, and statistics on previous volumes, plus access information
- for standards bodies, user groups, and publications . Regular discussions
- will resume with Volume 11. For availability of the archives, see below.
-
- Not all of Volume 10 will be posted, as the bulk of the indexes are
- probably not of general interest. See Volume 10 Number 2 for details.
-
- The USENET newsgroup mod.std.unix is also known as the ARPA Internet
- mailing list std-unix@sally.utexas.edu. It is for discussions of
- UNIX standards, particularly the IEEE 1003.1 POSIX Trial Use Standard.
- The moderator is John S. Quarterman, who is also the institutional
- representative of the USENIX Association to the IEEE P1003 Portable
- Operating System for Computer Environments Committee (commonly known
- as the UNIX Standards Committee).
-
- The name of the USENET newsgroup will change on or about 15 March 1987
- from mod.std.unix to comp.std.unix. This volume will be the last under
- the old name. The mailing list name will not change, nor will any
- of the following addresses:
-
- Submissions-To: ut-sally!std-unix or std-unix@sally.utexas.edu
- Comments-To: ut-sally!std-unix-request or std-unix-request@sally.utexas.edu
- UUCP-Routes: {gatech,harvard,ihnp4,seismo,pyramid,sequent}!ut-sally!std-unix
-
- Permission to post to the newsgroup is assumed for mail to std-unix.
- Permission to post is not assumed for mail to std-unix-request,
- unless explicitly granted in the mail. Mail to my personal addresses
- will be treated like mail to std-unix-request if it obviously refers
- to the newsgroup.
-
- Archives may be found on sally.utexas.edu. The current volume may
- be retreived by anonymous ftp (login anonymous, password guest)
- over the ARPA Internet as ~ftp/pub/mod.std.unix, while the previous
- volumes may be retrieved as ~ftp/pub/mod.std.unix.v1,
- ~ftp/pub/mod.std.unix.v2, etc., through ~ftp/pub/mod.std.unix.v10.
- Volume 3 contains the AT&T public domain getopt(3).
-
- These volumes are strictly for administrative convenience.
- Paper copies of them get delivered to the P1003 committee chair
- from time to time and several members of the committee follow
- the newsgroup on-line.
-
- Also, paper copies will soon be available from the office of the
- USENIX Association, in support of the Institutional Representative
- from USENIX to the IEEE P1003 committee. Selection will be by
- whole volumes only, not by specific articles. This service will
- be available when sufficient disk space is added to USENIX equipment
- in the next few months.

- The archives have been somewhat cleaned up in the process of indexing
- them. Irrelevant mail headers have been deleted and "From " (not "From:")
- lines in text articles have been escaped or removed to avoid confusing
- mail reading programs. An extra header, "Draft-9:", has been added to
- contain the index references by section of 1003.1 Draft 9 or related
- topic. It is hoped that these changes, together with the access
- information in Volume 10, will make the archives more useful.
-
- Finally, remember that any remarks by any committee member (especially
- including me) in this newsgroup do not represent any position (including
- any draft, proposed or actual, of a standard) of the committee as a
- whole or of any subcommittee unless explicitly stated otherwise
- in such remarks.
