First, we said no ISTO number until STANDARD. Some feel Candidate Standards should have numbers and we're considering a hack on the numbering to indicate CS from STANDARD. </tt> <tt>Ex 5300.1 = Skywriting Print Standard (Candidate Standard) 5350.1 = Skywriting Print Standard (STANDARD)</tt> <tt>You (and others) must have experience with IEEE standards progression (1284.x). Can you shed some light on the IEEE/ISTO numbering, what level of maturity they expect when a number is assigned, how we might go about assigning numbers to CS as well as S? ---------------------------------------------- Harry Lewis IBM Printing Systems ---------------------------------------------- </tt> <tt>(See attached file: C.htm) </tt> #### C.htm has been removed from this note on March 14, 2003 by Harry Lewis
