At the time of this writing, the cost is $130.00 from ANSI or
$400.50 from Global. Copies of the original X3.159 (including
the Rationale) may still be available at $205.00 from ANSI or
$162.50 from Global. Note that ANSI derives revenues to support
its operations from the sale of printed standards, so electronic
copies are *not* available.

In the U.S., it may be possible to get a copy of the original
ANSI X3.159 (including the Rationale) as "FIPS PUB 160" from

The mistitled _Annotated ANSI C Standard_, with annotations by
Herbert Schildt, contains most of the text of ISO 9899; it is
published by Osborne/McGraw-Hill, ISBN 0-07-881952-0, and sells
in the U.S. for approximately $40. It has been suggested that
the price differential between this work and the official
standard reflects the value of the annotations: they are plagued
by numerous errors and omissions, and a few pages of the
Standard itself are missing. Many people on the net recommend
ignoring the annotations entirely. A review of the annotations
("annotated annotations") by Clive Feather can be found on the
web at http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/schildt.html .

The text of the Rationale (not the full Standard) can be
obtained by anonymous ftp from ftp.uu.net (see question 18.16)
in directory doc/standards/ansi/X3.159-1989, and is also
available on the web at
http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/rat/title.html . The Rationale has
also been printed by Silicon Press, ISBN 0-929306-07-4.
