I presume you're referring to n1256.pdf, available at
<http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1256.pdf>.
That's not a completely official do***ent, but it's good enough for
most practical purposes. It includes the offical C99 standard plus
the changes made by the three Technical Corrigenda. Any changes
introduced by the TCs are marked with change bars. It's what I use
most of the time.
If you want something absolutely official, you can get a copy of the
C99 standard itself (without the TCs) by paying money to your national
standards body. I got mine from ANSI for something like $18; I think
it's gone up slightly since then. You should be able to get TC1, TC2,
and TC3 from the same source at no charge. Flipping back and forth
between the C99 standard and the changes in the TCs is tedious --
which is why n1256.pdf is so handy.
Good copies of the C89/C90 standard are a bit harder to come by. I
have a poor-quality PDF copy that I bought from ANSI for $18, but I
don't think it's available anymore. Some pre-C89 drafts are freely
available; I expect that someone will post URLs any minute now.
At least one person here prefers (I think it's) n869.txt. This is a
pre-C99 draft, *not* a C89/C90 draft. It has the advantage that it's
in plain text rather than PDF. It has the disadvantage that it's in
plain text rather than PDF. In particular, some semantically
significant formatting, particularly the use if italics, is lost --
and there were some changes between n869 and the final C99 standard.
I don't recommend it unless you have serious problems dealing with PDF
do***ents.
