A recent poster scolded others for commenting on pre-November-1985 drafts of the proposed C standard, and directed folks to CBEMA for the November, 1985 version, noting CBEMA's $20.00 price. Before sending in your $20.00, ensure that you'll be getting the November draft. I visited CBEMA's Washington, D. C. headquarters today and asked for the "latest draft;" what I was shown was the April 30, 1985 draft--albeit with a goldenrod cover sheet dated July 1, 1985. -- UUCP: ..decvax!seismo!elsie!ado ARPA: elsie!ado@seismo.ARPA DEC, VAX and Elsie are Digital Equipment and Borden trademarks

I wrote to CBEMA for the latest standard also, after my usual sources dried up. It took several weeks for them to respond. What I got today was the April 30 document, with a cover sheet dated July 1. That's 8 months out-of-date! I have sent it back and asked for my money to be returned. W. M. McKeeman mckeeman@WangInst Wang Institute decvax!wanginst!mckeeman Tyngsboro MA 01879 -- W. M.

I expect the draft from this March's meeting will be sent out. Michael Meissner, Data General
