As Larry Jones just reported, ANSI BSR approved the C Standard in mid- December 1989. The X3 appeal was voluntarily withdrawn by the appellant, apparently after he and X3 were unable to agree on a third mutually satisfactory arbiter. If an appeal is re-filed with ANSI, it is not expected to delay publication of the approved Standard, but rather the appeal would be processed after publication. (No, I don't know when publication will occur. Apparently Global Engineering Documents, Inc., 2805 McGaw Av., Irvine, CA 92714, (800)854-7179 or (714)261-1455, Telex 62734450 will distribute the final ANSI standard.) The published ANSI standard should be technically identical to the December 1988 X3J11 draft, differing only in boilerplate and packaging.
