The P1003 working group of the Operating System Standards Subcommittee
of the Technical Committee on Operating Systems of the IEEE Computer
Society. Their draft document is entitled "Portable Operating System
Environment" and is available electronically from several sites. The
net news group mod.std.unix contains relevant discussions.
P1003 has proceeded from the point that the /usr/group Standards
Committee left off. It is hoped that the final document will
(after a trial use period) become an ANSI and eventually ISO
standard.
