No idea, but I did find the 1998 one there (I have a copy -- they 
watermark every copy so that they don't get warezed, btw) and paid 
$18.00 for it.

Probably no difference at all, just a screwed up database.  Get the 
$18 one =3D)

That's probably good enough for basic stuff.  The differences between
draft and final versions tend to be fairly small.  And if worse comes
to worse, you can always post to comp.std.c++ and suffer through some
patronizing and condescension but eventually you might get a straight
answer =3D)
