You mean <http://www.nirvani.net/docs/ansi_c.pdf>? (URL from libc-alpha
in January; I have no information as to whether this distribution is
authorised under a licence from ISO, IEC or a National Body; note that
this does not include TC1, unlike the printed book from Wiley which solved
the problem of the printed standard previously being very expensive (and
at least some cheaper electronic copies having many strings attached about
paying ANSI's legal fees), but ISO or IEC will provide the official PDF of
TC1 free of charge on request.) Acquiring the proper four documents of
the old standard (C90, TC1, TC2 and AMD1) in any form may be more
difficult (given the doubts over quite what the version of C90 BSI are
selling is, but that it reportedly doesn't include AMD1 in any form), but
when it was available before C99 came out it also was very expensive.
When BSI surveyed panel members about how BSI could help their standards
development I asked them to license free distribution of ISO 9899 but
they've shown no sign of doing so.
