- This newsgroup, comp.std.c, is primarily intended for precise
- discussions about the interpretation and future direction of the
- ANSI/ISO C Standard, ISO 9899. If you're looking for discussions
- about everyday C programming, you'll probably be more interested
- in the newsgroup comp.lang.c, and if you have a *question* about
- everyday C programming, you'll want to check comp.lang.c's
- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list first. (Actually, that FAQ
- list has a section on ANSI/ISO Standard C, including several
- questions which might be asked here, such as how to obtain copies
- of the Standard.)
-
- The comp.lang.c FAQ list is posted on the first of each month to
- the newsgroups comp.lang.c, comp.answers, and news.answers (the
- latter two are net-wide FAQ list repositories). An abridged
- version is posted both on the first and the fifteenth of each
- month. In most cases, you should be able to retrieve the lists
- directly from one of these newsgroups.
-
- Both versions of the FAQ list are archived at, and available for
- anonymous ftp from, at least the following two sites:
-
- site directories
-
- rtfm.mit.edu pub/usenet/comp.lang.c
- pub/usenet/news.answers/C-faq
-
- ftp.uu.net usenet/news.answers/C-faq
-
- (URL's for the above references are
-
- ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/comp.lang.c/C-FAQ-list
- ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/comp.lang.c/C-FAQ-list.abridged
- ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/C-faq/faq

- ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/news.answers/C-faq/faq.Z
- ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/news.answers/C-faq/abridged.Z
- .)
-
- There are a number of other archive sites scattered around the
- world; if you know how to use an "archie" archive server it will
- list these sites for you if you query it with the command
- "find C-faq".
-
- If you are not able to use ftp (the Internet file transfer
- protocol), there are ftp-to-mail servers running at several
- sites, and an FAQ list mailserver running at rtfm.mit.edu.
-
- Hypertext versions of the comp.lang.c FAQ list are also available
- through the world-wide web (WWW); URL's are

-
- This article (the one you're now reading) is posted twice per
- month to comp.std.c, in an effort to head off some of those basic
- C programming questions which are occasionally posted here.
- Please let me know if you have suggestions about the wording of
- this message.
