Why is this a happy occasion? Because this is the only place you used to be able to FTP the draft X/Open Spec 1170 document defining UNIX. Or the DLPI or TPI interfaces. Or CORBA. Or Distributed Filesystem documentation. Or a large number of other technically very useful documents which are not otherwise available in machine readable form. I have offered several times to upload what I have been able to gather together of the original archive contents as "free to a good home". Both ftp.funet.fi and ftp.digiboard.com offered. I will refuse direct requests to me for this information. Here is the list of documentation I've "rescued" (with a lot of help from others interested in preserving it): ============================================================================= PUBLIC/dowg/corba.ps OMG Common Object Request Broker Specification v1.1 in encapsulated PostScript form. PUBLIC/osapi/osapi.tar Tar archive containing PostScript for 8/93 draft of Common API for UNIX-based Open Systems (this is the draft copy of X/Open SPEC 1170) PUBLIC/dcwg/dfsreq.ps Requirements for a Distributed File System, as developed by the UI Distributed Computing Work Group, in encapsulated postscript form. PUBLIC/dcwg/dfswp.ps A white paper describing the DFS requirements and their implications to end users in encapsulated postscript form. PUBLIC/iwg/esmpreq.ps Final draft of the UNIX International SVR4 ES/MP Internationalization Requirements in encapsulated postscript form. PUBLIC/iwg/isomse.ps Current draft of the ISO C Multi-byte Support Extensions Addendum in encapsulated postscript form. PUBLIX/iwg/l10n.ps Final draft of the UNIX International Guidelines for the Development of Localization Packages for UNIX System V. PUBLIC/osi/dlpi.ps Release 2.0.0 of the Data Link Provider Interface specification in postscript form. This API is expected to be revised early next year with some small changes, but represents a good specification of this low level kernel interface for communications drivers. PUBLIC/osi/npi.ps Release 2.0.0 of the Network Provider Interface specification in postscript form. This API provides a protocol independent kernel interface for communications drivers over connection oriented and connectionless protocols. PUBLIC/osi/tpi.ps Release 1.5 of the Transport Provider Interface specification in postscript form. PUBLIC/dwarf.v1.1.0.mm Final revision of DWARF Version 1 in troff format using the mm macros. All previous revisions are made obsolete by this revision. PUBLIC/dwarf.v1.0.3.ps Draft revision of DWARF Version 1 in encapsulated postscript format. This revision has been obsoleted by dwarf.v1.1.0.ps, the final revision of DWARF Version 1, but that document is unavailable. PUBLIC/dwarf.v2.d4.ps Draft 4 of the Dwarf Version 2 specification in encapsulated postscript format. PUBLIC/dwarf.v2.0.ps Industry review draft of Dwarf Version 2 in encapsulated PostScript format. PUBLIC/dwarf.v2.0.indx.ps Industry review draft index for Dwarf Version 2 in encapsulated PostScript format. ============================================================================= In addition, I have a line on another net.packrat (besides me) who has saved: ============================================================================= PUBLIC/roadmap93.a4.ps Final version of the 1993 UNIX International Roadmap in encapsulated postscript format. Caveat: this document assumes an A4 page size. PUBLIC/stackfsreq.ps Requirements for a Stackable Filesystem in encapsulated postscript form. ============================================================================= This second set of documents is not yet available. Some of the uiunix.ui.org files were mirrored from other locations; specifically, the TET, ETET, and other automated conformance testing testbed software is generally available on the net from places like NIST in the US. NIST is the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and is an agency of the Federal Government of the United States of America. Other files from this archive are still considered "lost". A full list of the files formerly on this archive is included in the uploaded data in both archive locations. If you have these files or know of a location they may be obtained, please contact me. Please check with the archive administrators as to when this archive will be made publically retrievable; you will probably not be able to download the information for several days yet. I would suggest not bothering the sites with requests until after 14 Sep 94 (next Wednesday). It's my hope that these archives will be mirrored by others so that the important machine readable standards information in them will not be lost.
