I thought I had one of their business cards, but....  However, the
'phone book indicates the telephone number is (714) 261-1455.  The
listed address is

	Global Engineering Documents
	2805 McGaw Ave.
	Irvine, CA  92715

Their catalog lists a variety of ANSI (and other) standards, so I
suspect that they intend to sell copies of the officially approved
version of the standard -- however, I hardly qualify as a spokesman for
them (or anyone else).  (If they *do* sell copies of the officially
approved version, I sincerely hope the quality of the copy is somewhat
better than that of the drafts....)
