- This is the first article in Volume 13 of comp.std.unix.
-
- The USENET newsgroup comp.std.unix is also known as the ARPA Internet
- mailing list std-unix@uunet.uu.net. It is for discussions of UNIX
- standards, particularly of IEEE 1003, or POSIX. The moderator is
- John S. Quarterman, who is also the institutional representative of
- the USENIX Association to the IEEE P1003 Portable Operating System
- Interface for Computer Environments Committee (commonly known as
- the UNIX Standards Committee).
-
- Submissions-To: uunet!std-unix or std-unix@uunet.uu.net
- Comments-To: uunet!std-unix-request or std-unix-request@uunet.uu.net
- The former addresses through sally.utexas.edu or ut-sally still work.
- Postings from the moderator may also originate from longway.tic.com.
-
- 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 uunet.uu.net. The current volume may
- be retrieved by anonymous ftp (login anonymous, password guest)
- over the ARPA Internet as
- ~ftp/comp.std.unix/archive
- or
- ~ftp/comp.std.unix/volume.13
- The previous volume may be retrieved as
- ~ftp/comp.std.unix/volume.12
- For hosts with direct UUCP connections to the uunet machine,
- UUCP transfer should work with, for example,
- uucp uunet!comp.std.unix/archive archive
-
- Volumes 1-10 are filed under the former newsgroup name, mod.std.unix,
- 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). Volume 10 is a special index volume that catalogs Volumes 1-9.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.
