It is 475 pages. It is restricted to sowtare which is certified to meet 88open binary compatibility standards. Every entry lists the certification status. Copies are available from: 88open Consortium Ltd. 100 Homeland Courrt, Suite 800 San Jose, CA 95112 (408) 436-6600 (408) 436-0725 (FAX) I believe that single copies are free and multiple copies are $4 each. Contact 88open for details. By the way, each entry also describes the level of internationalization support available. I thought that was a nice touch. It is also interesting to compare the 88open book to the IBM AIX book. IBM wins on ``thud factor''. The IBM book in the size of the Manhattan Yellow Pages. However, if you look closely most of the entries are for AIX on a PS/2 and are really MS-DOS applications. The list of RS/6000 applications is only a small percentage of the book. I guess that there are about the same number of RS/6000 applications as 88open applications. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Donald A.
