Ah, OK, thanks for digging that up. As I mentioned OSS came into existence in the early 1990s. Yes, I'd agree, it is time for a refresher...

The "C/C++ Programmer's Guide for NonStop Systems" mentions POSIX.1 from 1990 and POSIX.2 from 1992. Refer to the POSIX history at <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX> <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_UNIX_Specification> > Your page talks about Issue 6 and 2004 Edition. The 2004 edition is only a minor update (bug fixes) of the 2001 edition. POSIX:2001 is the same as "Single UNIX Specification Version 3" and the same as the "Base Specifications Issue 6". Three different names for the same standard. Bruno
