I have uploaded SBC Rev 6 to the BBS. I do not know how soon John Lohmeyer will 
be able to move this file (SBCR6.ZIP) to a public area and to the ftp site. I 
tried to upload it to the ftp site but for some reason was unable to open the 
incoming directory in standards and did not find one under X3T10.

I plan to request that the document tweaked in the scheduled editing session 
11/8/96 be sent out on a letter ballot for forwarding to X3 for further 
processing. Before that the plenary needs to address the issue of the 5/96 
motion on certain obsolete commands which I pointed out in an earlier reflector 
message.

For your information I have copied the summary of revision 6 changes from the 
document status section below:
