Yes. We already came close on 1990. The way 2001 is structured makes it much easier to comply (than 1996) while still providing a modern programming environment (with 64-bit file sizes, etc.). There are many obscure options in 2001 that we will likely never implement -- but that's why they're options; most other operating systems won't implement them either. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-standards" in the body of the message
