Sorry, most ISO documents, at least those at a useful (for implementers) release level are copyrighted. For those who can afford it, a useful source is: OMNICOM, INC. 115 Park Street SE Vienna, VA 22180 (703) 281-1135 You can order by phone if you have a credit card. You should have a good idea what you want when you call, e.g. the document number, as the telemarketers are not ISO wizards. Jim
