That's not what the original poster was looking for.  He was looking
for a copy of the C90 standard; n1124 is a post-standard draft of C99.
(And n1256, at the obvious URL, is a more recent post-standard draft,
incor****ating three Technical Corrigenda).

I have a (low-quality) PDF copy of the C90 standard, which I purchased
from ansi.org, but I don't think they offer it anymore -- and the
license terms forbid me even to *think* about distributing copies.

You might be able to find a used copy of Schildt's "The Annotated ANSI
C Standard", which has almost the entire C90 standard in printed form
(I think a page is missing).  Beware: the annotations are worse than
useless; see <http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/schildt.html>.

The problem, of course, is that C90 is officially obsolete, even
though it's still in widespread use.  Since ANSI and ISO are no longer
interested in selling it, it would be nice if they made it freely
available, but that's not likely to happen.
