I have some stuff at http://www.pushface.org/mil_498.html. Not so sure about the "bootleg" part, DoD were keen that all & sundry should be able to get their hands on it .. > A couple minute search using Altavista found a copy of the following > "notice of cancellation" for MIL-STD-498 (the successor to > 2167A).

The standard still exists, and eg the UK MoD are still quite happy for people to use it. If you want DIDs you will need to stick with 498 (or 2167A, I guess).
