[Please feel free to repost this information to appropriate electronic
 forums.]


Please find attached the invitation to join the Ada Bindings to the POSIX
Real Time Interfaces balloting group.  There is a $50 (US) fee to join
the balloting group.  Please contact Annamarie Kaczmarek concerning
methods of payment.  To join the balloting group, return the
information requested by this form to the IEEE.  Do not respond to me,
as only the IEEE Standards Office can add you to the ballot group.

Only IEEE or IEEE Computer Society members are eligible to vote on the
standard.  Non-members may participate as a party of interest and
your comments will be given the same consideration as a voting member.

Joining the ballot group is a commitment to respond to the ballot.  Please
do not join the ballot group unless you intend to respond.  If you wish to
obtain a copy of the draft standard without balloting on the standard, you
may order the copies from the IEEE.

Portable Application Standards Committee
of the IEEE Computer Society Invites You to Ballot On

P1003.20 Standard for Information Technology - - POSIX Ada Language Interfaces
-- Part 1:  Binding for Realtime Extensions

RETURN DEADLINE:        7 JUNE  1993


SCOPE:          To provide an Ada language binding to the realtime POSIX
                standards.

PURPOSE:        To provide capabilities so that a realtime application program,
                written in the Ada programming language:
                a)  Can emply POSIX realtime extensions, and,
                b)  Can operate identically on all conforming
                    POSIX/Ada/Realtime environments
