ANSI charges quite a lot of money for their spec ($130 I think), so you 
won't find it anywhere for free.  I usually use "The Standard C" by 
Plauger et. al. (Micrsosoft Press) and "The Standard C Library" by 
Plauger as very good replacements.  There is also "Annotated ANSI C" by 
Schildt (sp?), but I never used it.

Are you kidding??  If all you need to know is whether a function is ANSI
or not, look at the DJGPP header file that declares it.  Functions that
are declared after the #ifndef __STRICT_ANSI__ are non-ANSI.  You can test
existing sources by compiling with "gcc -Wall -ansi": those functions
which produce warnings saying they are ``implicitly decalred'' are
non-ANSI.
