What could have been Posix 1003.1e

The standards projects IEEE 1003.1e and IEEE 1003.2c are both drafts and withdrawn. This means, that both are neither finished nor worked on by the IEEE any longer. Their content has been last updated 1997, though some formal editing took place in 1999. The IEEE granted me permission for limited public distribution in June 1999 as stated below.

It is common to speak about Posix 1003.1e, though there is no such standard officially. The documents are referenced as IEEE 1003.1e and IEEE 1003.2c here.

The former technical editor of the standards, Casey Schaufler, provided electronic copies of the documents. I'm grateful to the IEEE and to Casey Schaufler for their generous gesture and their support.
