For those of you who have asked about it, DOD-STD-1838 has definitely
been released and is now being shipped by the Naval Publications and
Forms Center, 5801 Tabor Avenue, Philadelphia, PA  19120.

DOD_STD-1838, dated 9 October 1986, is entitled "Military Standard
Common Ada Programming Support Environment (APSE) Interface
Set (CAIS).  From the Scope section of this 600-page book,

"This document provides specifications for a set of Ada packages, with their
intended semantics, which together form a set of common interfaces
for Ada Programming Support Environments (APSEs).  This set of
interfaces is known as the Common APSE Interface Set (CAIS) and is
designed to promote the source-level portability of Ada programs,
particularly Ada software development tools.

"The goal of the CAIS is to promote interoperability and transportability
of Ada software across Department of Defense (DoD) APSEs."
