And even from us committee members. :-) I made sure to bookmark the cited JTC1 page. A quick skim didn't find the word "Fortran" in any of the freely available ones listed on that site, but perhaps F2003 will go there (I don't know - just speculating). Resolution 04-01 a bit puzzled me in its application to us, but I guess we'll see more after taking a look at N3784. If they really expect a collection of every definition in our standard, well... Much of the standard is involved with definitions; once might even go so far as to say that the whole standard is a definition of the term "Fortran". It is hard for me to tell exactly what they want from the resolution alone; might turn out to be nothing from us. -- Richard Maine | Good judgment comes from experience; Richard.Maine@nasa.gov | experience comes from bad judgment. | -- Mark Twain
