               IT'S A FIPS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

August 31, 1988

I am at long last pleased to announce that the Federal
Information Processing Standard (FIPS) for POSIX has been
officially approved!  The official notice will appear in the
Federal Register within the next few days, but as of today,
August 31, 1988, POSIX is an approved Federal standard.
