The SFF Committee provides copies of Specifications via the Documentation Service. SFF Specifications are available in paper form or electronic form (web browser and Acrobat) via CD_Access.

  • Individual copies of specifications are not sold.
  • Subscribers to the CD_Access Service receive the latest set of all specifications in every mailing of the SFF Committee, plus the minutes and email traffic to date over the SFF reflector as well as the voting ballots and copies of what was distributed at the meeting.
  • Subscribers to the paper Documentation Service receive revisions as they are updated in every mailing of the SFF Committee, along with voting ballots and copies of what was distributed at the meeting.

To encourage wide distribution, SFF Specifications are not copyrighted. Be aware that specifications are revised regularly. Before making inquiries on a specification from the technical editor be sure you have the latest revision.

To direct inquiries to the technical editor:

Use the Technical Editor's email address (it varies by specification and is on the front cover of every document).

To direct comments to the general membership send your comments to:

SFF_Reflector@sun.com

To inquire about SFF and its operations: send your email to:

endlcom@acm.org

Documentation including the minutes and distributed material is mailed to Members and Observers every two months. Individual copies of SFF Specifications are available in the members section of this website.

The status of SFF Specifications is summarized in SFF-8000.

INF specifications are only available from the SFF Committee.

Please be aware Published copies are not available until at least two months, perhaps longer, than the final revision of a Specification is technically completed. There is a procedural delay caused by the balloting of all members, and the possibility of style and appearance changes caused by final editing.
