I'm looking at one from Dec. 23, 1994, and they do seem to note for most documented functionality wether its GNU, Posix, BSD, ANSI, or "MS-DOG". Additionally, an Appendix B lists each library facility (ie. functions, macros, headers), followed by _one_ of ANSI, BSD, POSIX.1, POSIX.2, GNU, SVID, Unix, SunOS, or Unknown origin. [Oh, ok. There are a couple places where they list BSD & SVID, but most list only one] -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
