That tells us what POSIX is.  Various Apple press releases and flyers
claim that A/UX supports 1003.1, and that a 1003.1-conforming system
was shown at a trade show last summer.  I have yet to hear that anyone
outside of Apple has seen such a beast.

To repeat the question:  How much of the 1003.1 standard does APPLE
support?  The 1003.3 POSIX standard describes the conformance
documentation that is to be expected from the implementor of a
conforming system.  Can/will Apple provide such documentation for A/UX?
