Lars,
I saw Feather's review. I'm looking for a copy of the standard. It's
quoted here quite a bit, but I don't want to pay hundreds for it from
the only legal source. I read that Schildt's "The Annotated ANSI C
Standard" contains nearly the entire standard, word for word.
Isn't this the best bargain for obtaining a copy of the standard?
One can always ignore the annotations by Schildt.
[The publisher claims that the printer botched the missing page, but that
more recent printings should have it, at which point, it's missing only
some small stuff. I agree that it's a good deal, but take the time to
write them and complain about inaccurate annotations. -mod]
