That would be very difficult, since FreeBSD never supported that version (indeed, never even claimed support for that version). In order to make this happen, someone would have to go back to a printed copy of ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996 and compare all of the text against what is in FreeBSD to determine the appropriate conditionals. (That's not counting any semantic changes.) I've already done some of this work, and it's a lot of hard work (not least because of the way the previous POSIX standards were structured) for very little gain (since FreeBSD/i386 has never correctly supported any version of POSIX, not even the one it used to claim to support). -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
