I'm interested in looking at any published drafts prior to the C 1989
standard. I found X3J11-88-090 here:
https://yurichev.com/ref/Draft%20ANSI%20C%20Standard%20(ANSI%20X3J11-88-090…
That makes mention of the previous draft being X3J11-88-001. Does anyone
still have a copy of that draft, or other pre-89 drafts?
I'm not looking for any of the published standards (I've purchased them),
nor any drafts after the 1989 standard.

I found that I have a copy of X3J11-88-001
Draft Propsed American National Standard for Information Systems -
Programming Language C
and X3J11-88-003
Rationale for Draft Proposed American National Standard for Information
Systems - Programming Language C
They are quit lengthy, 2 sided copies.
I suppose I could create copies if you would like.
Or attempt to scan them into individual pdf files.

Cool!

I suppose I could create copies if you would like.
Or attempt to scan them into individual pdf files.
Is it bound as a book (with a proper book spine) or wirebound, ..., etc?
Would it be easier to take it to a copy shop? For example, if it's
wirebound or spiralbound it's very easy and cheap for a copy shop to
take it apart, run the whole thing automatically through a scanning
device, and then reattach the original binding.
I would be willing to contribute a little money to help cover cost of
this in return for a scanned copy.
Kind regards,
Andrew

Thank you Kevin. This is greatly appreciated.
Learning why C has the syntax and semantics that it does, and writing
compilers for various subsets of it, were some of the most important
things I did in my undergraduate education. Now our ongoing discussion
about its history adds an extra dimension.
Kind regards,
Andrew
