   Yes, that was the one called C89 or C90 or "ansi C".   
      
   Before that, there was a language called "B" which Ritche started to   
   improve and 1971 called "NB". In 1972 the language was renamed "C" and in   
   1978 the language was described in the book "The C programming Language"   
   by Kernigan and Ritchie.   
      
   10 years later, 1988, a second edition of that book was released,   
   describing C as defined by the ANSI standard.   
      
   The oldest entry in the HISTORY file of SmartList is from 1993, and you   
   would expect that most would choose ansi C rather than K&R C by then.   
   However, the version number for that entry is v2.80, so SmartList was   
   probably initiated long before that.
