C89 == older ANSI C
C90 == older ISO C. I seem to recall someone saying there was a very
small difference between the two.
C94 == technical clarification
C99 == current ISO C == current ANSI C
I don't recall offhand if there are others.[/QUOTE]
Originally there was K&R the original language definition in 197* As I
recall they were on the ANSI panel that did the ANSI C and due to the
quirks of publishing deadlines got K&R2 out in 1988 just ahead of ANSI
C89
However as there have been a LOT of changes to C90 (Amendment 1 + some
TC's) K&R2 is now well out of date (let along K&R1). I Have a K&R for
HISTORICAL reference but not practical use.
Languages change. This should be remembered by anyone with a "committee
draft" of ISO-C The drafts get changed and can not be considered
accurate. It is "mostly accurate" in the same way some one is "almost a
virgin"
