Hi

One thing comes to my mind right now is decimal floating point arithmetic.  Does it make sense for FORTRAN to have DFP in F2008?

Thanks,

(j3.2006) what now, 754r?





Hello,

Both J3 and WG5 should now be pondering what to do
in the face of various scenarios regarding
either the substantial delay
or eventual withdrawal of 754r.

Do we want to try to keep what we've got,
or remove it and hope for a more stable target
at some point in the future?

I'm asking now so as to allow time for considered views
to be expressed before the meetings when action will be required.
