pepers@enme3.ucalgary.ca (Brad Pepers) (02/25/91)

I suppose this is a FAQ but I don't see a FAQ on here so....

Where do I send the the ANSI specification for C? I would appreciate the
full address info and the cost if known. Thanks in advance for the help!

It's actually in the FAQ for comp.lang.c but as you are posting from Canada
you can get it from the Standards Council of Canada.  Their toll free
number is 800-267-8220.

I just called ANSI about this a couple of days ago, since I am in
the process of ordering the standard myself.  Here's some
additional info:

   ANSI FAX :  (212) 302-1286
   ANSI VOICE: (212) 642-4900  ;Requires Touch-Tone ?


   Basic cost (US      $ 50.00
   Shippping/handling:    6.00   <-- In United States only.
                       --------      Call if from other country.
   Total cost in US    $ 56.00


Also, send order requests c/o the "Sales Department" within ANSI.

I hope this helps.

Try the following if ordering from Canada:

    Foreign Standards Sales Section,
    Standards Council of Canada,
    350 Park St., Suite 1200,
    Ottawa, Ontario,
    K1P 6NT,
    (613) 238-3222

When I ordered a copy last December, the cost was $93.

Is there any FTP sites that I can get the ANSI C  Standard?

If not where can I get it from?

I know that is probably an FAQ, so I'll ask some other questions to
sweeten the deal!

Does the ANSI C Standard give any specs on malloc() and free()?

Where can I get info on writing malloc() and free() on DOS?
How about some source code?

I'm wanting to write a malloc routine for EMS memory, in which I first
get a chunk of memory from EMS and then give it out when EMMmalloc is
called. This is so that the program does not have to use up unnecessary
handle.
I think this is the way that malloc works, but I'M not sure,
and I don't know enough about it.

Please E-Mail to me.

Thanks abunch!!!!
