For those people who do not have access to ftp, here is the text of the
README file published by AT&T regarding their ftp site for what appear
to be documents that they "know" will be used by ANSI for the public
comment period of the C++ DRAFT Standard.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
This directory contains a machine-readable copy of the April 28, 1995
Working Paper of ISO Working Group WG21. This Working Group is
responsible for developing the International Standard for the
C++ programming language.
WG21 is submitting this Working Paper to its parent body SC22 for
consideration for approval as a Committee Draft, which is the first of
several stages that will ultimately result in an International
Standard. WG21 is also making the Working Paper available to the C++
community to give them the chance to comment on both the Working Paper
itself and the language and library it describes.
The Working Paper contains copyrighted material. You may print or
copy it as long as you do so for the purpose of furthering the
standardization of C++. Using it to improve your own understanding
of C++ is one example of an appropriate use; running off a bunch
of copies for use in a commercial course is not. If you have any
questions about whether an intended use is or is not appropriate,
please contact the undersigned.
You will have the opportunity to comment officially on the contents of
the Working Paper. Unfortunately, the exact procedure for doing so is
still lacking a few details, so we cannot say what they are quite yet.
However, we promised that the text would be available in late April,
so we did not want to hold it up any longer while establishing the
details of the procedure. At the time this material was first made
available, slightly less than two hours remained in the month of April
in the time zone of the first FTP site to make it available.
In any event, you will have at least until some time in July to
comment on this Working Paper and the instructions for doing so will
be available well before then. You will be able to request those
instructions in any of three ways:
1. Read this file again from time to time.
2. Look for an announcement in Usenet newsgroup comp.std.c++.
3. Send electronic mail to c++std-notify@research.att.com,
which will record your address; when the instructions are
ready, we will attempt to send them to you.
Electronic mail is not perfectly reliable, so all we can promise is that
we will send the instructions; we cannot guarantee that you will receive
them. For that reason, you may wish to consider options (1) and (2)
even if you also use option (3).

The files in this directory are available from the following sites:
research.att.com:/dist/c++std/WP
ftp.maths.warwick.ac.uk:/pub/c++/std/WP
In this directory, you will find six files in addition to this one:
coversheet.ps.Z
foreword.ps.Z
contents.ps.Z
body.ps.Z
index.ps.Z
concordance.ps.Z
They are all compressed PostScript files, intended to be printed in
the sequence given above. The whole thing takes up 720 pages, of
which most is in the body.
The purpose of each file should be obvious--except for the last one,
which connects subclause numbers with their symbolic names. Each
subclause has a number, a title, and a symbolic name (which appears in
square brackets after the title). Future editions of this Working
Paper may well have different subclause numbers, but the symbolic
names are intended to remain constant as long as the subclauses to
which they refer continue to exist.
That means that when referring to a particular part of the Working
Paper, it may be more useful to use the symbolic name than the number.
However, that requires a way to locate the part of the WP that
contains the subclause with a particular name; the concordance serves
that purpose.
