I finally remembered to check our standards bookshelf when I was in the
office today, and found printed copies of:
- Docs with XPG4 branding:
- CAE Specification: System Interfaces and Headers, Issue 4
- CAE Specification: Commands and Utilities, Issue 4
- CAE Specification: System Interface Definitions, Issue 4
- XPG3-XPG4 Base Migration Guide
- X/Open Systems and Branded Products: XPG4
- Docs which didn't explictly have "XPG4" on the cover:
- CAE Specification: Networking Services, Issue 4
- CAE Specification: X/Open Curses, Issue 4
While there were copies of earlier SVID generations, I didn't see Issue 4
there.
I took quick pictures with my cell phone of the covers of each of these
if you want them - they're not archival quality scans or anything, but
it doesn't look like that's what you're going for on that wiki page.
