Of course not.  That would have been K&R1, then: the now thoroughly
outdated first edition of the book which came out in 1978, and is thus
25 years old by now.

The "other" one I was referring to is K&R2, the second edition
covering ANSI C, which hit the shelves in 1988.  That's slightly
earlier than the ANSI C Standard was actually issued (1989), but the
book still matches the standard (and also C90, it's ISO re-issue).
