[SAGE] Free access to X/Open's Single Unix Spec (Version 3)

["Adam S. Moskowitz" <adamm@menlo.com>]

I *STRONGLY* urge every SAGE member to "get" a copy of the X/Open
Single Unix Spec: It may not be the de jure standard for Unix-like
systems, but it's based on the IEEE/ISO standard and is probably the
"most definitive" standard for the areas not covered by POSIX.

Best of all, it's free! Go here:

and click the link for:

    Register to read or download the specification

You'll be asked for your name, email address, and country; except for
maybe a confirmation of my registration I don't think I've received a
single piece of email from X/Open. (I'm sure they have a privacy policy
somewhere but I didn't bother to read it.)

It can take a little while to get used to reading standards, and at
first it may be hard to find what you're looking for. I suggest
starting with the alphabetical index. Watch out: The detailed tables of
contents are quite long and will take a while to load.
