Has anybody heard of POSIX?

Where can I get hold of a copy?

Thanks.

This question is sort of like:
"Has anyone ever heard of water?  Where can I get a glass?"  :-)

Hello Tony,

If only POSIX were so tangible... :-).  Thousands of pages of
specifications that exist "to support application portability at the
source code level...".

Stephen Walli posted an article titled "POSIX - Caving In Under Its
Own Weight (Long)" that kicks off a rather insightful thread over on
comp.std.unix.  You might want to check it out...

Mike, I think it would be better put as:
	"Has anyone ever heard of water?  Where can I get a pound?"

I'm sorry Tony but it's begging to be said.

However, in the spirit of education and being a good neighbor, the POSIX
standard (*COUGH*) is maintained (*COUGH*COUGH*) by the IEEE, you can
contact them for more information.

I don't have the address handy but I'm sure that someone else out there
has it.

Considering Novell is in the process of purchasing USL, questions
like the above leave me wondering about UNIX's future... :)
