- Perhaps you mean ISO 3166:1988. This standard defines 2 and 3 letter
- codes and a numeric code for each country (e.g. DE, DEU and 276 for Germany).
- You can buy it at your national standards body or perhaps order it in
- better bookstores.
-
- A not very up to date list of the abbreviations is located in several
- Internet ftp servers, e.g. at ftp.uni-erlangen.de in pub/doc/ISO/english/
- ISO-3166-summary.
