Not to mention the reports that Microsoft NT will be POSIX compliant when
it appears.

There are other OS's, such as SCO Unix, that claim to be "mostly compliant".
As far as I can tell, that means that they've left out the document that
lists which of the optional parts of POSIX they've included.  (Where's the
document that lists the nonconformances in the conformance document?)
	SCO Unix is X/Open branded, but X/Open isn't the ISO.  Do their
customers care?  Do you?  What's going on to harmonize the work of the
two organizations?
