[about variants of ISO 8859]
I know about ISO 8859/1 because someone gave me a copy, and about
8859/5 because someone posted a draft on comp.std.internat (though
I managed to lose that in a disc scavenge).
How would someone in the USA go about getting a copy of each of these
standards and draft standards?karl@haddock.ima.isc.com (Karl Heuer) (11/03/88)

Thus it would be simpler to define these as follows: int wcislower(wchar_t wc); wchar_t wctolower(wchar_t wc); Karl W. Z.

Official approved access route: ANSI 1430 Broadway NY, NY 10018 sales: 212-642-4900 ANSI sells both American National Standards and the ISO standards in this country. They maintain a document listing ISO standards which have made it to DIS stage as well. You can also subscribe to their newsletter, "Standards Action", which lets you know when various standards have hit public review milestones (and where you can get a copy). Another way to stay informed is to become an observer on the ANSI committee which is either working on the US version of the standard in question and/or formulating the US position contributing to the ISO standard. ANSI can also give you the master list of ANSI committees and their contact persons. Good luck!
