- You're right, but not for the reasons you think. :-) You can't get NIS+
- specs.
-
- OSF/1 meets XPG/4, ANSI, Posix standards; it's API is publically available,
- just like SVID.
-
- DCE is on the fast track to become an X/Open standard. The only thing
- holding up its full specification (from OSF) is not enough writers .:-)
-
- Motif is working its way through some IEEE committee, as I recall.
