				  Announcing a Workshop for POSIX
			  (IEEE Std. 1003.1) System Implementors


  The Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology at the Nation-
  al  Bureau of Standards (NBS) announces a workshop to discuss im-
  plementation issues related to the POSIX Standard, which has been
  proposed  as a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). To
  assure  compatibility/interoperability,  NBS  has  reviewed   and
  analyzed  the  options  that  are  available for implementing the
  Standard, and has selected options that will be proposed as  part
  of  the  Federal Standard.  At the workshop, NBS will present the
  proposed specification and participants will be  invited  to  ex-
  press their views.

  The workshop will be  held  October  20-21  at  a  hotel  in  the
  Rockville- Gaithersburg area.  Attendance is limited by space re-
  quirements and the size of the  conference  facility;  therefore,
  registration  is  on a first come, first served basis with recom-
  mended limitation of two participants per company.   A  registra-
  tion  fee  will  be charged for attending the workshop.  Partici-
  pants are expected to make their own travel arrangements and  ac-
  commodations.   NBS  reserves the right to cancel any part of the
  workshop.

  To register for  the  workshop,  companies  may  contact:   POSIX
  Workshop,  Attn:  Debbie  Jackson,  National Bureau of Standards,
  Building 225, Room B-252, Gaithersburg,  MD   20899.   Telephone:
  301/975-3295.

  The registration request must name the company  representative(s)
  and  specify  the  business address and telephone number for each
  participant.  An NBS representative will confirm workshop  regis-
  tration  reservations  by telephone.  For additional information,
