The specifics of standards compliance can best be acquired from individual
corporations. As noted, Tandem and HP have announced support. Other legacy
systems also have announced support, including IBM, Unisys and DEC. Many
companies still hold the details confidential.
The other question you asked was a brief explanation of each POSIX group. I
would strongly suggest the 'Open Systems Standards Tracking Report', Volume 1
Number 3. It is put out by DEC, and is freely distributed (thank you!).
Requests for copy can be directed to leblanc@decvax.dec.com. The format of
each edition varies. This particular one (dated April 1992) lists all the
working groups, their mission, sometimes talks of when they are going to ballot
and lists the chair/vice chair. On page 5, it also talks about how these
different working groups will factor into future releases of 9945-1, 9945-2
and 9945-3. (That is P1003.4 will not be 9945-4, but rather included in several
chapters of 9945-1).
Volume-Number: Volume 28, Number 83
