As far as I can tell, no CSTR document ever got renumbered in revision.

CSTR #54 didn't, and we know of 1976 and 1992 versions of it.

Interestingly, Kernighan's 1992 revision isn't shown here.

Maybe Doug or Meg can shed some light on this.  And, incidentally, here
are the final two entries.

I'd sure be curious to see a copy of CSTR #163.  :D
