Access to IEEE P1003 proposed draft standard

[John Quarterman]

The draft document is formatted with the -mm macros.
Unfortunately, one must have a System V or System III (or PWB)
license to have those, and many people reading this do not.
I cannot make a copy of those macros publicly available
without violating UT's licenses.  So I am providing a copy
of the draft which is already formatted.

Some have had trouble uncompressing the original form of the
document sources I provided.  So I am providing both compressed
and uncompressed forms, as well as source to compress.

Some file names got truncated to 14 characters in the tar file
somewhere along the line.  This makes formatting on a 4.2BSD
machine difficult.  Running this will help:
#!/bin/sh -x
mv	sect/ch03_process_p	sect/ch03_process_prim
mv	sect/ch04_process_e	sect/ch04_process_env
mv	sect/ch06_nonlocal_	sect/ch06_nonlocal_jumps
mv	sect/ch09_device_sp	sect/ch09_device_specific
mv	sect/ch11_sort_sear	sect/ch11_sort_search
mv	sect/ch14_data_inte	sect/ch14_data_interchange

By anonymous ftp (login anonymous, password guest) from sally.UTEXAS.EDU,
one may retrieve the following over the ARPA Internet:

-rw-rw-r--  1 jsq      bin        389120 Sep 27 16:24 ~ftp/pub/P1003.D4
-rw-r--r--  1 jsq      bin        124553 Sep 19 17:00 ~ftp/pub/P1003.D4.Z
-rw-r--r--  1 jsq      bin        291305 Sep 27 16:30 ~ftp/pub/P1003.D4.doc
-rw-rw-r--  1 jsq      bin         89889 Sep 27 16:30 ~ftp/pub/P1003.D4.doc.Z
-rw-r--r--  1 jsq      ftp         56515 Apr  9 13:53 ~ftp/pub/compress.shar

P1003.D4 is the sources for the document, in tar format.
P1003.D4.Z is the same compressed.
P1003.D4.doc is a formatted form of the document (63 line pages
	separated by form feeds, i.e., ARPANET RFC format, which
	should be printable on just about any line printer).
P1003.D4.Z is the same compressed.
Compress.shar is the sources for compress.

Obviously you will want to retrieve the compressed form if you can.

The list of hosts from which the document is available by UUCP is
ut-sally (contact ut-sally!jsq), decvax (contact decvax!jcmg),
seismo, and enea.  Presumably they will pick up the new files.
Remember the IEEE rule that only copies obtained from one of the
hosts on the approved list (those named in this article) are real.

We still need a host with high connectivity in North America
for greater UUCP availability.

There is an IEEE interest list which people can join to get copies
of current drafts.  It is not clear that you will get them faster
that way than by the electronic means described above.  If you do
want to get on that interest list, you will want to send a request
including paper mail address to decvax!frog!jim, who is Jim Isaak,
the IEEE P1003 committee chair.
