The printed version is available from ANSI, and most likely from the
Canadian equivalent, though I've contact info only for ANSI - if nothing
else, they may be able to point you to the Canadian standard
organization.

 SS> 2) Is the icky void main(void) actually allowed in C++?  Ugh...
Sort of - C++ specifically allows for other implementation defined forms
of main, rather than merely making all other forms undefined.  In the
end, it makes little or no real difference in how things work; if your
implementation says you can use some other form of main, you can.
Otherwise, you can't (at least dependably.)
