The people to contact about both POSIX and ANSI C in this country are the BSI. There is likely to be another ISO Draft Proposal on ANSI C, with a corresponding BSI DP, and that is a good opportunity to get a copy of the current draft. POSIX I am less in touch with. I am not sure of the best address to contact in the BSI, and it is a somewhat rambling organisation (several locations in London, Milton Keynes etc.) Try chasing up via one of the London locations. WARNING: do NOT rely on the second edition of K&R. They 'jumped the gun' and predicted the future wrong; I believe that they are working on a corrected second edition. I would also suggest working from the real standard, unless K&R second edition is considerably more thorough than the first edition.
