Correct me if I am wrong (Has anyone in a news group ever NOT been
corrected when wrong? :-) ) but the last time this came up I recall
it being stated that the ANSI C standard was NOT to be distributed
electronically for a variety of reasons. (This suggests a possible
addition to the excellent FAQ file that has just been created.)
As I recall the reasons included protecting people from using guidelines
that had been modified, as well as to raise money for ANSI.
To quote the C FAQ doc:
Copies are available from
American National Standards Institute
1430 Broadway
New York, NY 10018
(212) 642-4900
or
Global Engineering Documents
2805 McGaw Avenue
Irvine, CA 92714
(714) 261-1455
The cose is approximately $50.00, plus $6.00 shipping. Quantity
discounts are available.
