Not of "the old superseded standard", which is what Richard asked for.

... is not "the old superseded standard".

The topic of obtaining the C90 standard comes up periodically on
comp.lang.c.  AFAIR, the last time I read such a discussion, there were
still some national standards bodies that were selling it (or, at any
rate, their nationally-branded versions of C90 plus some or all of COR1,
AMD1, and COR2) - Australia's was one, I think.  Some company was
supposedly selling it on CD-ROM.  And used versions of the Schildt book
are sometimes available - though it's bloated by Schildt's infamous
commentary, and it's missing one page of the standard due to a printing
error (and it's a particularly useful bit, part of the fprintf spec).

On the other hand, n1124.pdf is quite close to the published document,
and also incorporates TC1 and TC2.  I have the C99 published standard,
but I generally refer to n1124.
