Wagener" To: sc22wg5@dkuug.dk Subject: Special Issue - Fortran 90 Content-Type: Multipart/Mixed;boundary=part_AE8C27E60017807B00000001 --part_AE8C27E60017807B00000001 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Disposition: Inline Well, it took long enough, and Fortran 95 is almost official, but the Fortran 90 special issue (SI) of Computer Standards and Interfaces (CSI) is now out. Or so goes the rumor - I haven't seen a copy yet, but the notes below suggest that it's for real. Those of you that were at the Feb'96 X3J3 meeting may remember that we had a prepublication copy on the table. Jeanne Adams and I served as special issue co-editors. (Jeanne had the first word, as her paper was the first one and I had the last word since my paper brought up the rear - in between were the really good papers. :) The following two notes were received recently (by the paper authors) from the CSI general editor (John Berg, johnberg@cris.com) and the publishing editor (Yvonne Campfens, Y.CAMPFENS@elsevier.nl). They are anxious to publicize the SI and would like our recommendations on just where to so proclaim. Of course any publicity we can get for Fortran 90, no matter how large or small, is desirable. Therefore if you have any ideas on where to publicize the SI please let Jeanne (jeanne@ncar.ucar.edu) or John or Yvonne or me know. We'll probably think of the most obvious newsgroups, conferences, etc, but there are no doubt lots more that would be appropriate; so we could use your suggestions. both John's and Yvonne's notes indicate the kinds of places that are candidates. Please also note John's invitation to submit Fortran papers for future issues of CSI. Jerry ------------------------------------ Thanks to Jerry, Jeanne, and all of you for an excellent SI. I just received the final form last night and your SI is full of news, controversy, rationally argued points, and important facts. It should generate a lot of discussion. Please remember that each of you may send Elsevier (see Yvonne's email address in the CC) ten addresses of colleagues to receive a complementary copy of the SI. You also have the usual author's perks which I think Yvonne has taken care of already. Please look at Elsevier Science Publishers web page at http://www.elsevier.nl to see our recent CSI table of contents. Best way to dig through the huge number of ESP journals is to use the alphabetic Table of Contents search. If you see a CSI journal you'd like and I have it in my small supply, email me and I will gladly send it to you. I will be working with Jerry and Jeanne to find conferences, symposia, seminars, etc. at which we can promote your issue and our journal. If you have any ideas, please let us know. If there are any up-coming standards meetings at which a display of the SI will be helpful, this may be especially useful. Finally, given the interest sure to be generated by your SI, please consider single papers that you would like to submit to future issues of CSI, or advise your friends and colleagues who would like to support or appose the points argued in the SI of our interest in papers. To brag for a moment, after all these years and volumes, CSI is still the only INDEPENDENT (not some org's house organ), international (as reflected in our subscriptions), standards publication in the world. SIs like yours have made this possible. John ------------------------------------- This message concerns the Special Issue "FORTRAN 90" of the journal Computer Standards & Interfaces, for which you have contributed a paper. We would like to publicize the issue as we do with all distinctive Special Issues, i.e. using news groups and electronic list servers as well as having the issue on display at relevant workshops. We would like to call on your help for this purpose. If you are aware or using any relevant news groups and electronic list servers, or if you know of any forthcoming relevant workshops, we would be obliged to hear this from you. We would like to thank you for your participation in the above Special Issue and hope you will consider Computer Standards & Interfaces again in the future for submission of a paper. We look forward to receiving your suggestions for publishing the Special Issue. With kindest regards, Yvonne Campfens Publishing Editor --------------------------------------- --part_AE8C27E60017807B00000001--
