-
- 1. Since there is no POSIX standard for Detailed Network Interface yet,
- XTI can hardly comply with it. However, the P1003.12 group at POSIX has
- chosen XTI as one of its two C-lanuage binding alternatives for DNI.
-
- 2. The XTI specification can be obtained by sending a cheque for USD 70.00
- + 22.50 for shipping and handling to
-
- X/Open Company Limited (Publications)
- P.O.Box 109
- Penn, High Wycombe
- Buckinghamshire HP10 8NP
- England
-
- Please give reference XO/CAE/91/600 (XTI). Card numbers for American
- Express, VISA, Mastercard or Eurocard are also accepted.
-
- 3. Technical enquiries about XTI issues should be sent electronically to
- xoxti@xopen.co.uk
-
- 4. The following companies have so far obtained the X/Open brand for their
- XTI products on X/Open-compliant UNIX systems: Bull, Fujitsu, ICL,
- Olivetti, Siemens/Nixdorf. In addition, there are several more
- implementations of XTI which I have heard about but which have not yet
- been turned into formally released products. The number of XTI products
- on the market is expected to increase dramatically when the X/Open XPG4
- branding scheme is announced in October.
-
- With the best regards,
