- What you want is the Operating System Programming Interfaces Volume of
- the AES (Application Environment Specification). This is published by
- Prentice Hall ISBN 0-13-043522-8. You should be able to order this from
- any reputable bookshop if they don't already have it. It has been available
- for some time but I guess it has taken time for the news to leak out.
-
- These are not all the interfaces present in OSF/1 but they are the ones
- you should use if you want to write a portable application.
