Are any of the multitudes of standards groups or quasi-standards groups
working on a generic API to ACSE (plus Presentation, so you can actually
do something while you are associated, of course)?  I would appreciate
hearing of any actual, planned, or rumored activities of this kind.
I have never heard of any, but I don't know everything.

Thanks in advance,

Early on (3 or 4 years ago) there was a MAP/TOP group
working on defining an API for ACSE/Presentation and
for FTAM and X.400. I believe this activity has been
picked up by another organization, but I don't remember
for sure who, maybe IEEE as part of the POSIX work?

The OSI working group of UNIX International has one called APLI
(ACSE/Presentation Library Interface). This working group is open
to non-UI members. The interface spec has been submitted to X/Open.
The technical manager at UI involved with this is Helene Armitage
(helene@uinj.ui.org).
