Sorry if these are FAQs, I haven't noticed a list here, if so please mail me.

Do any bodies, other than the British Standards Institute, perform validation
of compilers?  Which PC (MS-DOS) or Amiga products have passed such validation?

The British Standards Institute charges 168 pounds sterling ($330 US),
[yes, the price is correct - I checked the price list and by phone], for the
234 pages comprising BS ISO/IEC 9899:1990, (half price for members).  We have
to tolerate US books having the '$' scratched out & a pound sign drawn in, but
this seems bl**dy expensive!  Is this, or better still the ANSI version with
rationale, available at an affordable price?

Beyond my list, what major extensions are documented for ANSI C?
    Objective C - "Objective C" by Pinson & Wiener's book,
    C++         - [IMHO, hardly an extension the contradictions with ANSI C
                    appear to be increasing daily]
    Concurrent C - "The Concurrent C Programming Language" by Gehani & Roome,
                    1989, describes a K&R rather than ANSI extension. Omitting
                    control for sharing/copying data between processes and
                    control of process location on multiple processor systems.
                    Has this been updated functionally and/or syntactically
                    to ANSI style?

Thanks,
