Re: Standards acceptance, ...

Nick-

Going to www.ibm.com and entering a search with the words "AIX" and 
"Standards"
would have netted you:

http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/aix/standards/aix51stdcmpl.html

Which does indeed discuss 1003.1:1996 and 1003.2:1992 (among other 
things).
As Don Cragun and Andrew Josey have attempted to point out, there is a lot
more involved than just saying "1003.1:1996". It's a collection of 
amendments,
options, and other things. You have to *really read* the vendor 
documentation
to get the real answer.

Have you actually asked an IBM rep about AIX's conformance, or plans?
