Texas CS Dept., Austin, Texas Lines: 45 There is a new moderated newsgroup, mod.std.unix, for discussions about UNIX standards. Here is the first article posted to it, which describes what it's about. >From: jsq@ut-sally.UUCP (John Quarterman) Newsgroups: mod.std.unix Subject: mod.std.unix created Message-ID: <2189@ut-sally.UUCP> Date: 25 Jun 85 23:16:34 GMT Organization: U. Texas CS Dept., Austin, Texas Lines: 34 Approved: jsq@ut-sally.UUCP This moderated newsgroup, mod.std.unix, is for discussions of UNIX standards, in particular the one in progress by the IEEE P1003 "UNIX Standards" committee. P1003 is the successor to the /usr/group standards committee, and many of the members are the same. The newsgroup moderator is me, John Quarterman. I got into this because the USENIX board appointed me to be the USENIX delegate to P1003. My function is largely to relay information between the committee and the USENIX board and membership (I also vote for USENIX in cases where that is appropriate). The committee considers this newsgroup to be one good way to do that. I will report on the contents of the newsgroup to the committee, for the benefit of those who do not follow the newsgroup directly. While various P1003 committee members will probably post things to mod.std.unix, it is best to assume that such postings are personal opinions of the poster, not the official position of the committee, nor even of the poster's company, unless it is specifically stated otherwise. To start with, the newsgroup will go out as individual articles. If volume builds, I will probably change to a digest format, so that discussions can be grouped together. Please mail submissions for mod.std.unix to ihnp4!ut-sally!std-unix, and comments about the newsgroup to ihnp4!ut-sally!std-unix-request. (The ARPA Internet addresses, e.g., std-unix@ut-sally.ARPA, also work.) Mail to my personal mail address (below) will be treated as not for posting, though I may reply with a request for permission to post. -- John Quarterman, jsq@ut-sally.ARPA, {ihnp4,seismo,ctvax}!ut-sally!jsq
