This is Chris Walshaw's last ABC guide. It's not really a standard as such; it's more of a user guide to ABC features. Much of ABC is handled by giving a few examples.

This is a proposed Draft Standard that is a bit more specific than Chris's 1.6 document. It has led to a lot of discussion on the abcusers list.

The ABC Standards Committee was set up in 2001 in an attempt to centralize information about ABC standards. This site has the current documents from the committee.
