The changes that have been made to the PDTR are due to (a) ballot comments from DIN - most of which have been accepted (b) compliance with the latest ISO directives (c) errors in some of the edits found during comparison with the F95 DIS. 1. The first paragraph of the Introduction has been revised and now forms part of the Foreword. 2. The Introduction has been moved to immediately follow the Foreword and now contains the Rationale section (without separate heading). The ISO/IEC directives make it quite clear that rationale belongs in the introduction. 3. The language in 1.1 Scope now conforms to the directives. 4. The language in 1.2 Normative References now conforms to the directives. 5. The edits have been revised to apply to the F95 DIS (I hope no line numbers are going to change in the final document!), as follows: (i) 5.1 eighth constraint [48:12] - unnecessary "or pointer" deleted, comment simplified (ii) 5.1 third-last constraint [48:33] - comment simplified (iii) 5.2.10 R533-R537 second constraint [61:40] - changed to add a new constraint at [61:42+] instead of trying to shoehorn it onto an existing constraint. (iv) 12.4.1.1 [201:21+] - line number changed to [201:16+] (v) 12.4.1.6 [203:22] - wording changed "any part" to "an ultimate component" (so as not to say anything about things reached via pointer components). Please review the document and indicate whether you believe that it should be submitted to JTC1 for final DTR approval ballot by returning the following ballot to me by Sunday 18th May 1997. ----------------------- Individual WG5 Ballot ----------------------------- Please return this ballot to the Convenor NO LATER THAN 18TH MAY 1997. __________ I agree that N1275 should be forwarded for its final | | | DTR ballot in its present form | YES | NO | |_____|____| If NO, give changes required before it is balloted: (signed) ................................
