N2  - UNIXA (R), POSIX, and Open Systems discusses issues that affect many standards and profiles including networking; conformance testing; independence from a single programming language; and internationalization across human languages, codesets, and cultural conventions. Standards facilitate application portability, user portability, and interoperability among different versions of UNIX and other open systems. This is a how-to book for understanding, implementing, and using standards, explaining how standards are produced, and how to affect them. Highlights Include: *Descriptions of the major standards bodies, industry consortia, and user groups that produce specifications and standards, and of how different groups may be faster, broader, or better able to achieve a consensus in standardization *Discussions of POSIX standards and other specific standards related to the historical UNIX operating system *Emphasis on the role of networking in open systems and standards *Extensive coverage of profiles and their uses in implementing, selling, and buying computer software and hardware 0201527723B04062001
