I found the ANSI X3.159-1989 standard here:

https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/Legacy/FIPS/fipspub160.pdf

It includes the rationale, starting at page 235.

All the text can be copied.

Hopefully one day I will read both.

BFN. Paul.

If I didn't know better, I'd call that TeX/LaTeX-ed.

And it is the case that I don't know better.

I don't know how you're getting that impression. I
have no reason to think any of the early versions of
the ANSI or ISO C standards, including this document,
were the product of TeX/LaTeX formatting.

ASHes to ASHes, DOS to DOS.
