| Here is the answer to your questions for the OpenVMS operating system:
>1. Does the operating system fully conform to ISO/EIC 9945-1:1990 Part 1
>System Application Programming Interface (C Language)?
Currently the VMS POSIX V1.1 provides the IEEE 1003.1 (1988), the
ISO/EIC 9945-1 and the XPG3 system interfaces for OpenVMS V5.5
family. The following upcoming products:
POSIX for OpenVMS VAX V1.2
POSIX for OpenVMS AXP V1.0
provide the same interfaces for OpenVMS V5.5-*/V6.0 and for OpenVMS
AXP V1.5 respectively (please, refer to the SPD for V1.1 and to the
AIRONE::VMS_POSIX conference to have the complete description of
the upcoming products)
>2. Does the operating system come with an ISO 9899 conforming C language
>Compiler?
>[I believe ISO 9899 is the ANSI standard]
The ANSI C compiler is not boundled with OpenVMS. To have such
compiler, you should install the DEC C V1.3 on OpenVMS AXP V1.5.
This ANSI C compiler is currently available only on the AXP
platform. For the VAX platform you should wait for the VAX version
of the same compiler (please, refer to the TURRIS::DECC notes
conference).
>3. Can the operating system run strictly conforming POSIX applications
>and non-conforming applications concurrently, or without any
>reconfiguration of the operating system?
The POSIX for OpenVMS products allow the user to run
POSIX applications (conforming and non-conforming) without any
reconfiguration. You simply do:
$ POSIX posix_applic
or
$ POSIX
psx> posix_application
To have more information you can also refer to the LIBRT1::POSIX notes
conference.

I work in the UK and have been asked to do some legwork for a bid. I
apologise if this is not quite the correct forum but I wanted to get
the widest possible audience in the hope that someone can help me and
DIGITAL_STANDARDS isn't accessible.
I need to know the answers to the following questions for VMS, ULTRIX
and OSF...
1. Does the operating system fully conform to ISO/EIC 9945-1:1990 Part 1
System Application Programming Interface (C Language)?
> With respect to DEC OSF/1 V1.2 ALPHA AXP
> ISO/EIC 9945-1:1990 is POSIX 1003.1:1990 which DEC/OSF conforms
> to and received NIST certification
2. Does the operating system come with an ISO 9899 conforming C language
Compiler?
[I believe ISO 9899 is the ANSI standard]
> With respect to DEC OSF/1 V1.2 ALPHA AXP
> ISO 9899 is the ISO reference to ANSI/C which DEC C conforms to
> and had received NIST certification
3. Can the operating system run strictly conforming POSIX applications
and non-conforming applications concurrently, or without any
reconfiguration of the operating system?
> With respect to DEC OSF/1 V1.2 ALPHA AXP
> the OS can run POSIX conforming and non-conforming applications
> simultaneously without reconfiguring the kernel.
Answers or pointers to answers to any the questions for any of the O/S's
will be gratefully received. I have looked in SPD's and the notes
conferences I could find already.
regards,
Martin
