Can anyone suggest where I can get hold of a copy of ISO/IEC 9899:1990/
Amd.1:1995, the C90 amendment that  introduced the <wchar.h> and
<wctype.h> headers?  I've tried the ISO, BSI and ANSI online stores,
and emailing the BSI; I've even tried the Cambridge University Library
(a UK copyright library, so it ought to have a copy, though finding
documents with obscure numeric titles like this is rather fraught),
all without success.

As the current C++ standard describes those two headers by reference
to C90 Amd.1, it's a bit of a nuisance that it's so hard to obtain.
Is there any intention to update the current C++0x working paper to
define these parts of the standard library by reference to C99
instead?

Go to http://www.techstreet.com/incitsgate.tmpl and type 9899 in the
search box.

Sixth item on the list is "CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC  9899A-97  18-Jan-2000
Amendment 1:1997 to CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 9899-94 - Programming Languages -
C - AMENDMENT 1: C Integrity (Adopted Amendment 1:1995 to ISO/IEC
9899:1990)"  $91.00 for either printed copy or PDF.

I do not have this document and I have not seen this document, so I
can make no recommendation as to whether or not it will meet your
needs.
