Farrell, Jim, Since the 'upgrade' of IEEE Store in 2007 you cannot find anything easily anymore. And even if you can find something, information is incomplete. VHDL 2008 is a good example: 1. If you type '1076-2008' in search box, the CD-ROM distribution of the standard shows as the first result. 2. Click the link - publication date is listed as 1/1/2009, so let's click 'Add to cart', then 'View Cart'. 3. Everything still looks OK, so let's click 'Checkout'. 4. NOW you are informed that the item is unavailable, and there is absolutely no info when it will be available. I really don't understand why the standard is listed as published, but without any availability status listed until checkout. And accepting orders without any date of availability listed is not good business practice. Jim, I have already complained to the store with no visible results. Maybe complaint coming from 'higher ranks' will work better?
