I went to www.ansi.org to download the standard.

The website offered me 3 choices:

There are 3 products that contain "c++":

Document # Document Title Price Member Discount Available
INCITS/ISO/IEC 14882-2003   Programming languages - C++  $18.00  Yes
ISO 10303-23:2000  Industrial automation systems and integration --
Product data representation and exchange -- Part 23: Implementation
methods: C++ language binding to the standard data access interface
$183.00  Yes
ISO/IEC 14882:2003  Programming languages - C++  $288.00  Yes

I'm guessing I want the $18 one. Is that correct?

What are the differences among the 3 alternatives?

Thanks,

Robert

Yes.

The second choice is the description of some bindings to data access
interface (library) for industrial automation -- not the C++ language
standard, but something built with/for access from C++.

The third choice is the standard as sold by ISO, I believe.  Compared to
the first one which is sold by ANSI.

A .pdf file containing the standard document.

Don't know.

This is the dead tree version of the PDF file. Same contents, different
media.

Probably.

If you want it printed, there is an alternative here, at GBP 24.46

Really?  Why would they mention the "file size"?

That's the price of the official paper document anyway. Perhaps ISO is
offering a pdf version as well, at the same price?


If you want a copy of the standard, the $18 ANSI version is the
cheapest. The text content is the same.

If you want a paper copy, the BSI version from amazon.com (or .co.uk)
also contains the same text, at a more affordable price.
