As mentioned below, the IEEE has current standards that you can purchase, subscribe to, etc. I doubt the pricing is current :-). --Mark ----- Notice of Cancellation IEEE/EIA 12207 Standard for Software Life Cycle Processing MIL-STD-498 Notice 1 May 27, 1998 MIL-STD-498, dated 5 December 1994 has been cancelled as of May 27, 1998.
