So it serves at least one useful purpose.
The book was much cheaper than a copy of the C standard from ANSI or ISO even when it was new. It was a common joke (HHOS) at the time that the difference in price reflected the value of the annotations. (It also has two errors in the actual text of the standard. There's a character missing in the syntax summary, and one page was omitted entirely, replaced by a copy of the previous page: my copy came with a corrected page ineptly glued in at the relevant place.) -- [mdw] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
