POSIX (i.e., the 'base specification' for the Single UNIX™ Specification) is a trademark of Bell Labs. or AT&T, or X/Open, or the Open Group. Or somebody. Is an open standard — or so they tell me.
I know your you're dying to get a hold of the new standard yourself, and since its the developed by "the Open Group", no problem, right?
Well, in fact, I found it a little difficult to get ahold of this open standard myself. If you've tried a hand at it you probably wound up on here on the IEEE website, where they will gladly let you download a PDF for the low, low price of $814.00 USD, or just $1,018 for a print copy. That's only a bit more than a three hundred dollar price hike from the last version! Other side of the pond? Maybe here where you can purchase it for CHD 238,00 (Swiss francs).
Or if your just a cheapskate like me, perhaps you've been trying to get your browser to work with the Open Group's slick troff-to-html version — be sure you version of Netscape Navigator has frames support!
