Not in my experience they use "ANSI C" to mean "standard C"

At one point, it was quite common to use "ANSI C" informally to
distinguish the "ANSI" dialect from the "K&R" dialect.

Yes, that's certainly how the term originated. The problem is that
the usage hasn't kept up with the decisions of the American National
Standards Institute.

No, the problem is the American National Standards Institute hasn't
kept in line with comp.lang.c. Do they think they define the standard
or something? And ISO can't even agree on their own acronymn.

As far as I can tell, its author has never formally claimed its
conformance with any ISO C Standard, either C90 or C99.

You bet I picked YOUR post instead of someone else's: Old man, what are you
telling the young ones?

As everybody knows, implementing a thing like C99 with only one guy is

It is just years of bug fixing. True, I am not the kind of
person to boast around:

I have everything needed for C99.
