Btw, please tell your sysadmin that the "From:" line of your article
does not contain an email address.  You should always include a valid
email address at the end of your article and add a "Reply-To:" header
line if your system doesn't get the "From:" line right.

The ARM has been revised a few times since its 1990 printing.  Minor
errors were fixed and the ANSI Resolutions appendix has been updated.
Make sure you buy a recent printing (see copyright page).  I don't
know the most recent printing but surely there was one sometime this
year.

I wouldn't expect a major ARM revision until after the ANSI draft in
1995.  You can also order the current ANSI Working Paper for about
US$30.  It's more up-to-date but it doesn't have the valuable ARM
commentary.  See the FAQ for info about ordering.

Just a naive question.
I would like to buy the ARM (Annotated C++ Reference Manual, 1990), but I am
still hesitating...  Does everyone know if a revised ARM will come soon?

I hear that within a year or two a new version will be out, but if your in
a hurry you shouldn't wait.
