HISTORY:

The use of standardized/widely supported APIs for OSI applications has increased
over the last couple of years. The most widely used at present are those
supplied by the X/Open group. As the X/Open APIs are being standardized by the
IEEE, they will carry a greater weight in the networking community, regardless.
Many implementors are having problems with interpretation of these
specifications.


CHARTER:

Technical discussion relating to the specification, interpretation,
implementation, purpose, and use of APIs in the Open Systems/OSI field.

This list aims to put implementors of the APIs in contact with each other, as
well as the groups which formulate the specifications (X/Open/IEEE at present).
