Do you mean Pre Santa Clara?
There is also a new draft for the C standard N1336
and a new draft for the security enhanced functions N1337.

Will these be included in C1x? I hope not.

I have copies here of several C standards and drafts. I observe:

Identity. Pages Size Date (here)
N869.pdf 586 1.4 mB 1999-Jan
N1336.pdf 556 3.8 mB 2008-Aug

and offhand I see no reason for this large size expansion.
Comments?
I notice that n1336.pdf has "Fast Web View" enabled and includes three
additional fonts than n869.pdf. The embedded table of contents is also
missing in the latter, though it's rather surprising that all these
differences account for 2.4 Mb. Other than this, I have no idea why
their sizes should vary so greatly.
Incidentally N869_txt.bz2 (bzip2 compressed) is 212k, and available
on my page. No later version has been delivered in text form.
This is the most easily handled version.
How does this manage to represent all the math formulae and special
symbols in plain text?

And N869_txt.bz2 has the disadvantage that (a) it's out of date,
and (b) it's missing some formatting (particularly italics)
that's semantically significant.
That observation has already been made several times. However, my
query was about the relative sizes of N869.pdf and N1336.pdf, in
view of their line counts. My purpose in mentioning n869.txt was
to illustrate the size advantages of the text format. Tactical
error.

Not perfect, but adequate for most purposes.

The major contributor seems to be that I started using Ghostscript to
produce the PDF file rather than Adobe Acrobat Distiller. Perhaps I
should upgrade my ancient version of gs....

Very badly, which is why I stopped producing text versions of the standard.
