This was really addressed to Larry Rolison but, because I thought that he had copied his original message to the whole list, I sent my reply there as well. It was only subsequently that I realised that he had not sent his message to the whole list, but that the filter system on Eudora had noted the reference to SC22WG5 in the subject line of Larry's original message and put it in the "Incoming WG5" folder. I was so busy yesterday that I just read it and replied to him with a copy to the list, and only later realised that my filter specification had erred! Anyway, that's why you all got a lenthy reply to a message you hadn't received. For those of you who did get to the end, you will realise that I was suggesting to Larry that if he wished to get input on paper N1247 before the meeting he should conduct an informal ballot himself, but that I could not carry out such a ballot because his paper is a proposed alternative to N1243, which is the current draft CD for our project on conditional compilation in Fortran, and my job is to review that paper not counter proposals. So if you receive a request from Larry to respond to an informal ballot on N1247, it is an unofficial informal ballot, but it is being conducted with my knowledge and is not an attempt to do anything behind the Convenor's back! The relevant paper is now on the WG5 server in PostScript and Acrobat formats. Miles Ellis WG5 Convenor Email: Miles.Ellis@etrc.ox.ac.uk Phone: +44 1865 270528 Fax: +44 1865 270527
