Public review draft copies can be obtained from Global Engineering Press. The third (and hopefully last) formal public review draft should be at the printers by now; contact the X3 Secretariat of CBEMA for official information about this (and please post what you find out, if it hasn't already been posted).

The X3J11 committee does not wish to serve as a #pragma clearing house. I think some of the committee members are interested in setting one up, though. >4- And how long until the first completely ANSI, non-pre-ANSI C will be out? Obviously this depends on the availability of the wording for the final, official standard. That cannot happen before the end of August, 1988. It is likely to be substantively the same as the third formal public review draft, but nobody is guaranteeing that.
