It is available as a book, called "Videotex/Teletext Presentation Level
Protocol Syntax", and is the ANSI X3.110-1983 as well as the CSA T500-1983
standard. If you are in Canada, any "Queen's Printer" office can sell it to you
for about $40 Cdn. If you are in the US, you are on your own for finding it
locally, since I have no idea who might carry it.

You can also order it from:

American National Standards Institute
1430 Broadway
NY, NY, 10018

or in Canada from:

Canadian Standards Association
178 Rexdale Boulevard
Rexdale (Toronto), Ontario, M9W 1R3

Be prepeared for a heavy read. It's 158 pages, 8.5 * 11", of some of the most
convoluted protocol you ever saw. Actually, once you have all the character
sets figured out, and fathom the basic premise of the protocol it isn't all
that bad.

Its usefulness is somewhat in question tough. Not much of it around any more.
