- You can order by phone by calling (212) 642-4900. The cost is more
- than $40 in that shipping charges and such are included. If your
- company is an ANSI member there is a discount. And so on. In
- addition, you need the Intrinsic Function Amendment (I lost the
- number). And, to be even more complete, you might want to get the
- correction amendment (it is now in public review).
