- This is the first article in Volume 17 of comp.std.unix.
- These volumes are purely for administrative convenience.
- Feel free to continue any previous discussion or start new ones.
-
- The USENET newsgroup comp.std.unix is also known as the mailing list
- std-unix@uunet.uu.net. It is for discussions of standards related
- to the UNIX operating system, particularly of IEEE P1003, or POSIX,
- including IEEE 1003.1, 1003.2, etc. Other related subjects include
- but are not limited to ISO/IEC SC22 WG15 (the ISO and IEC version
- of POSIX), X/Open and their X/Open Portability Guide (XPG),
- the Open Software Foundation (OSF), UNIX International (UI),
- the AT&T System V Interface Definition (SVID), System V Release 3,
- System V Release 4, 4.2BSD, 4.3BSD, 4.4BSD, Ninth Edition UNIX,
- the UniForum Technical Committee, the USENIX Standards Watchdog
- Committee, the X3.159 C Standard by the ANSI X3.159 committee and
- the corresponding ISO committee, and other language standards.
-
- The moderator is John S. Quarterman, who is also the institutional
- representative of the USENIX Association to IEEE P1003.
-
- 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 mailing list is distributed on the Internet, UUCP, and elsewhere.
- There is a redistribution list on BITNET for BITNET, EARN, and NetNorth.
- Please send submissions from those networks to std-unix@uunet.uu.net
- nonetheless, because messages sent to the BITNET LISTSERV will not reach
- the whole list.
-
- If you have access to USENET, it is better (more efficient, cheaper,
- less effort for me to manage) to subscribe to the newsgroup comp.std.unix
- than to the mailing list. Submissions should still go to the above
- addresses, although many (perhaps most) USENET hosts will forward
- attempts to post directly to the newsgroup to the moderator.
-
- The hostname cs.utexas.edu may be used in place of uunet or uunet.uu.net.
- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- UNIX is a Registered Trademark of AT&T.
- IEEE is a Trademark of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
- Engineers, Inc.
- POSIX is not a trademark.
- Various other names mentioned above are trademarked; I hope their owners
- will not object if I do not list them all here.
