Irrelevant. SUS does not require any behaviour that is specific to bash. Everything it requires is also supported by ksh. >>> 2) Why UNIX03?

I assume this is because the reason Apple certified macOS was to settle the lawsuit over their unlicensed use of the UNIX trademark. Updating to UNIXV7 would involve a lot of work (although probably not nearly as much as they had to do to get to UNIX03 conformance). They don't need to do that work if they can continue to license the trademark by certifying each new release to UNIX03. > And why does The Open Group allow this? You would have to ask them that. -- Geoff Clare <netnews@gclare.org.uk>
