Where to buy C90 and C95 standards

[Ioannis Vranos]

I have found these:


C90: http://infostore.saiglobal.com/store/Details.aspx?DocN=stds000005269

C95: http://infostore.saiglobal.com/store/Details.aspx?DocN=isoc000767513

Cool, thanks for posting that.

Some notes:

The C95 document is just the amendment; it's not the full standard.
If you want the C95 standard, you'll need to buy both.

The prices for the PDF versions are $111.81 and $56.21, respectively.
I think that's in Australian dollars; the Australian dollar is
currently about $0.76 US, 0.56 Euro, 0.50 UK Pound.

If these are the same documents I have, they're legible but the PDF is
not nearly as good as the more recent versions (C99 and drafts). My
copies were generated by scanning a hard copy. You can still search
and copy-and-paste, but you'll get a lot of errors (commas tend to
appear as periods, for example).

The prices show up in Euros to me:


AS 3955-1991
Programming languages - C PDF: €86.21 Hardcopy: €95.79



ISO/IEC 9899:1990/Amd 1:1995
Programming languages - C; Amendment 1: C integrity PDF: €43.34 Hardcopy: €48.16

The web server probably sees where you're coming from.

ISO/IEC 9899:1990/Amd 1:1995
Programming languages - C; Amendment 1: C integrity PDF: €43.34 Hardcopy: €48.16

My newsreader doesn't display the euro signs correctly, at least not
in my current environment. For example, it shows the price of the C90
PDF as \20086.21, which is a bit scary until you realize that the \200
is probably supposed to be a euro sign. (Hmm, you're using
windows-1252, so it might look funny to others as well.)

My reader is dated Aug 00 (Netscape 4.75), and shows the Euro sign
without any difficulty. Was that before the Euro was actually
implemented?

I used the default encoding Western (ISO-8859-1), which is the default setting of the latest version of
Thunderbird, which I am using.

Try switching to this encoding manually, this may work. Unless you are using Windows 95 or something.

setting of the latest version of Thunderbird, which I am using.

FYI both the original Euro-containing message and the one I am relying
to now say:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed

in the header (which my newsreader is quite happy with BTW).

No you didn't. Your posts have the header:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed

and the euro symbol does not exist in ISO-8859-1.

Yes, you are both right. I checked the headers of my messages in this thread, and it appears that for the
messages without the Euro sign, the default ISO-8859-1 was used, while for the messages containing the Euro
sign, apparently Thunderbird auto-switched the encoding to windows-1252.


Yes, I knew that ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1) doesn't contain the Euro sign, ASCII too.

If you want to stick to non-Microsoft encodings, ISO-8859-15 (oddly
known as Latin-9) is the same as Latin-1 with a few changes including
the euro symbol.

Perhaps because ISO-8859-5 to 8, 11 and 12 are not for the Latin script at
all?

I said "oddly", not "inexplicably". It would have been much less
confusing to call them Latin-9, Latin-13 etc even though there would
no Latin-5 to 8.
