-
- I generally agree with Henry's comments.
-
- At the last 1003 meeting, I distributed a command set
- proposal along these lines (it covers just what seems to
- be current referred to as the Execution command set,
- since I think it is a major mistake for 1003.2 to try to
- standardize the language, network, or interactive
- interface environments). Unfortunately the 1003 meeting
- was concurrent with X3J11 so I didn't get to hang around
- for much of the 1003 discussion. I urge that 1003.2 take
- my proposal as guidelines for trimming down the Execution
- command set from the SVID descriptions. Legislating
- unnecessary implementation constraints and some of the
- more dubiously designed UNIX software might make AT&T
- marketing happy, but it should make UNIX grokkers unhappy.
