The IBM RS/6000's running AIX are completely POSIX compliant. Note
that any modern UNIX machine will be *close* to POSIX compliant, since
the POSIX standard is clearly derived from UNIX.

Recommended texts, in addition to the actual POSIX drafts:

"The POSIX.1 Standard, A Programmer's Guide", Fred Zlotnick, 1991, 
	Benjamin/Cummings Publishing Company, Inc., 379 pgs.

"IBM POSIX Conformance Guide", IBM, 1990, IBM, 34 pgs.

"UNIX System V Release 4, Programmer's Guide: POSIX Conformance", USL,
	1988, Prentice-Hall, Inc., 44 pgs.
