Not of "the old superseded standard", which is what Richard asked for. > > To all practical purposes they are available.

The topic of obtaining the C90 standard comes up periodically on comp.lang.c. AFAIR, the last time I read such a discussion, there were still some national standards bodies that were selling it (or, at any rate, their nationally-branded versions of C90 plus some or all of COR1, AMD1, and COR2) - Australia's was one, I think. Some company was supposedly selling it on CD-ROM. And used versions of the Schildt book are sometimes available - though it's bloated by Schildt's infamous commentary, and it's missing one page of the standard due to a printing error (and it's a particularly useful bit, part of the fprintf spec). > > is at: > > > > <http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n869.pdf> > > There are a lot of minor differences between this and the published > document. On the other hand, n1124.pdf is quite close to the published document, and also incorporates TC1 and TC2. I have the C99 published standard, but I generally refer to n1124. -- Michael Wojcik Principal Software Systems Developer Micro Focus [EMAIL PROTECTED] 9420 Key West Avenue Rockville, MD 20850 Direct: 517 676 0892 What would you like Micro Focus to do for you?
