Operating System Standards? (C2, Etc)

[richklein]

Hi,
I am writing a paper & am trying to find a few OS standards. I know one which is the "C2" security standard. This standard goes across all os's (linux, win, mac, etc).

I assume that a web browser would also be an OS standard.

Can anyone name a few more?

Thanks,
Rich

Hmm, i think i understand what you mean.

How about:

TCP/IP
IPX/SPX
HTTP
FTP
HTML

not positive on all of those but i think they are pretty standard.

a lot of file formats work on all systems.

that's all that i can think of that wyrmmaster didn't mention.

I guess what I am asking, is about maybe some sort of ISO standard that all OS's adhere to.

From Mac to Linux to Windows to Novel

That sorta thing.

I think that the protocols mentioned above are network standards, not necessarily OS standards.

32 bit?

Not if you run Win3.x

bmp is windows only.

.png are across all platforms and I think .tff files are atleast windows and mac complient.

xml i think is another open language

i think everything can read .txt
