I received a mail message saying

The reply bounced.  The reference is

IEEE Std 1028-1988, "IEEE Standard for Software Reviews and Audits," 
10 March 1988.

This is a pre-approval date, but the standard has been approved.
I don't know why it isn't in the 1989 IEEE catalog, unless it's just too
new.  I talked to one of the people who worked on 1028, and he said he
had seen it collected in a book of IEEE standards (which must supersede
the current collection of IEEE software standards) from a March workshop.
I guess there must be an update to the 1989 catalog coming out real soon
now.  Until then, just write to the IEEE Standards group or given them
a call (see the catalog).
