DoD-STD-1838 (also referred to as MIL-STD-CAIS, where CAIS
is the Common APSE [Ada Programming Support Environment] Interface
Set) is to be delivered today (5/27/87) to the Ada Joint Program Office.
Publication should be completed and DoD-STD-1838 should be available to the
general public in hardcopy form in the next few months.  There will probably
be an announcement on ADA-SW and in the ASR Newsletter and other Ada-oriented
newsletters when the standard is available.

Thanks to Patricia Oberndorf and the KAPSE Interface Teams (KIT and
KITIA) for the enormous amount of effort they devoted to this project.

The following is extracted from CAISSTAT.INF in PD:<ADA.POINTERS>:


The recommended changes to  the January 1985  version of  the
proposed MIL-STD CAIS have been unanimously approved by the CAIS
Standardization  Working Group. These changes were developed in
direct  response to the formal  MIL-STD comment process
(discussed  in  the  May  AdaIC  newsletter),   input  from
prototype implementers,   and  informal  comments  from  the
government,  industry,  and international Ada communities. 

The Standardization  Working Group recommended the revised CAIS
be  adopted as DoD-STD 1838.   This is a significant milestone
for the Ada  language, which is the culmination of much effort by
the KAPSE Interface Teams (KIT and KITIA). 

The standard should be available towards the end of the 1st
calendar quarter of 1987.   The next  Ada  IC  newsletter,  as
well  as  Ada  Today,  will contain instructions on how and where
to obtain this DoD-STD.
