This report identifies input provided by Denmark to .2b amend-
ment to POSIX Shell and Utilities. Document numbers refer to
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG15 documents, unless otherwise indicated.

2. Input as requested in .2b

The following refers to request noted in 1003.2b/D10:

Page 7, line 82: Extended identifiers.
A number of documents have been presented. WG15 liaison state-
ment N283 to WG20 have been approved. WG20 has made a recom-
mendation that DS can support in N420.

Page 10, line 185: Substitute
We believe 1003.2/D8 section 2.5.2.2 has the most recent text.

Page 10, line 190: replace-after
A number of documents have been presented, the most recent is
from CEN including the "reorder-after" description in N566
annex E.

The DS input is N416.

3. Other input:

There are other papers that we think are accomodated in .2b.

N441: character concepts in POSIX standards
This paper recommends multibyte characters as the general coded
character set type.

include reference to CEN registry.
In response to AI 9410-35, 5 comments were listed. Proposed
are:
1. repertoiremap as in CEN registry
2. comments in localedef collating weight statements
3. use repertoiremaps with locales and charmaps

N561: Proposes new utilities for
1. compression, ala "gzip"
2. editing, a better utility than "vi" 
3. versioning, ala "sccs"
