#                               Linux-FT joins X/Open
# 
# 	This is a *MAJOR* and long overdue step forward for Linux.
# 
# The group developing Linux-FT have joined X/Open, the international open
# systems standards organization wich manages the Single UNIX Specification
# and licenses the UNIX trademark.
# 
# 	"Independant Software Vendors are often nervous about porting their
# 	 products to Linux due to the perceived lack of standardisation and
#          concerns about support and stability. X/Open membership demonstrates a
#          commitment to Conformance, Standards and Stability which has been
#          unachievable in the past and is a significant step towards proving
# 	 that Linux is a viable and stable platform.
# 
# 	 With Linux-FT's proven commitment to Commercial Quality, Standards
# 	 and Conformance, X/Open membership is a logical step forward in
# 	 this definitive products growth and provides the Commercial
# 	 and Free communities with a solid platform on which to base their
# 	 products."
# 
# 	says Lynda Nurden of Lasermoon Ltd.
# 
# 
# 	"Having a part of the Free Software community as an X/Open ISV
# 	 Council member is an important step towards the worldwide acceptance
# 	 of UNIX systems standards.
# 
# 	 We welcome this development and wish this new Member every sucess."
# 
# 	says Graham Bird of X/Open.
# 
# 
# If you want further information about these developments and the Linux
# products involved, please check the WWW pages or send us an email.
