  I remember having compared the "draft-proposed ANSI" to the "real"
ANSI, when it was published. As I browsed the two, I could find no
differences at all: they had the exact same length and everywhere I
looked, the text was positioned at exactly the same positions (yes, in
app A too). Even the two prefaces (?) mentions (in exact same words),
that this isn't the "final standard, as we still have to wait for
ANSI" (I can't quote it; I've got both K&R2 + a copy and a copy of
K&R1 but they've all been borrowed from me at the moment).

  I know, that this isn't a fulfilling diff, but I'm lead to believe
they are completely alike. Could somebody point out the differences?
[he says, knowing that in case of them being different, he can be d*mn
sure everybody will point it out ;-)]
