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?  [either now (draft available?) or later (when approved)]

thanks for all help and info.
