http://www.papersizes.org/ is quite handy for looking up paper sizes. It 
also explains how the ISO (A4 etc.) sizes are actually defined - e.g. A0 
has an area of 1 square metre, and aspect ratio of 1:sqrt(2) (which 
gives it the property that cutting a page in half along it's long edge 
results in a smaller page of the same aspect ratio), then each 
subsequent A-series size is derived by cutting the previous size in half.

The US ANSI A, B, C, D and E sizes are not related to the ISO A-, B- and 
C-series sizes. So ANSI A is nothing to do with ISO A4 (although it 
happens to be very roughly the same size), and ANSI C nothing to do with 
ISO C6.

Mark.
