- The more important date will be when end users can buy OSF/1 and its
- documentation for their machines, IMHO. The most optimistic rumor I've
- heard is third quarter `91 for shipment to end users, and then only for a
- few platforms.
-
- Don't get me wrong. I welcome the competition between USL and OSF. I'm
- confident *both* OSs will benefit as a result. I wish both camps success.
-
- As a developer of applications that must run on both SVr4 and OSF/1 (when
- it ships to end users), I've looked all over for specific information on
- the C language interface to OSF/1 in general and system calls in
- particular. The only books I can find on OSF are about Motif, nothing on
- the operating system itself. I'd *like* to take advantage of what OSF/1
- offers, but without documentation, this is impossible. How about sections
- 1-8 of the man pages for OSF/1? Where can I buy them? Telling me it will
- be POSIX compliant is only a partial answer.
