I quoted from C99 in a recent message; can't remember where I got it (12 years ago ...), perhaps Techstreet. There are 'final drafts' of C99 and C11 legally available for free on the web I believe. Various revisions of POSIX are available free for reference online; the current POSIX.1-2008 at http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/ and the older POSIX.1-2004 at http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/ Regards, jjf ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
