* Draft 6 of the joint revision to POSIX and the Single UNIX Specification V3
   now available.

The Austin Common Standards Revision Group
(http://www.opengroup.org/austin/) today announced availability of Draft 6
of the joint revision to POSIX and the Single UNIX Specification.  This is
the second recirculation of the complete draft of the specification and
is known as the Sanity Review draft.  Draft 6 totals some 3698 pages.
Please see the reviewers notes which accompany the draft for details of
the changes in this draft.

Since Draft 5 passed The Open Group Fasttrack ballot, and the IEEE
ballot the document is now effectively complete. The main purpose of
the draft 6 recirculation is an editorial review to ensure that changes
arising from the Draft 5 review have been applied as the review group
intended.

There is one month review period commencing April 20 and completing
at 8am UK time on May 21st 2001. A plenary review meeting is being
held during the week commencing May 29th to process the comments
arising from the Draft 6 review period. Comments should be sent
to the review reflector and use the aardvark comment format (see
http://www.opengroup.org/austin/aardvark/format.html for more
information).

The draft can be obtained from the Austin Group web site at
