Hi, would someone mind clarifying what exactly was wrong in the book? I'm curious what rules should/not be followed. Are there substantial diffs? Also, can anyone verify that a new edition is forthcoming? If so, when? perhaps one more - from where could one order the ANSI standard document for the c language?
