Here is a text version of the 'Latest News'. In particular, please note documents N1391 (J3/00-007r2) and N1393 (J3/00-006r1) since those attending the Oulu meeting will need to make a copies for accessing during the meeting. Interpretation processing will also need access to the Fortran 95 standard. Please may I remind heads of delgations that have not already done so to let me know the names of your attendees. Best wishes, John Reid. .......................................... 6 July 2000 Fortran 95 interpretations 17 interpretations have reached the "passed by J3 letter ballot" stage are now the subject of a ballot of individual members - see N1390 and N1392. The deadline is 7 August, which will give the Convenor time to collate the results for consideration at the Oulu meeting. A further 7 are being letter balloted by J3 with the dealine 28 July. The collection of all interpretations with the current draft replies and edits is available as N1393. 6 July 2000 New documents: N1388 US activity report (Bierman) N1389 Fortran 2000 status report (Warnock) N1390 Vote on interpretations (Reid) N1391 Working draft Fortran 2000 standard (J3/00-007r2) N1392 Vote on interpretations, part 2 (Reid) N1393 Fortran 95 interpretations (J3/00-006r1) Revised on 6 July 2000 Meeting in Oulu 14-18 August The draft agenda (N1380) and meeting announcement (N1381) have been posted by email and are available in the archive. There will be three major items of business: A. Processing of interpretations of the Fortran 95 standard. There are about 85 outstanding requests for interpretations in the J3 standing document 006 (alias N1393). Each needs to pass these stages: 1. J3 meeting vote. 2. J3 letter ballot. 3. WG vote. 4. If edits are involved, incorporation in a corrigendum. At the moment, 17 are at stage 3 and a further 7 are at stage 2. WG5 will construct a draft corrigendum based on all items with edits that have passed stage 3. It will also provide assistance to J3 in processing the other items by constructing draft responses for consideration at the next J3 meeting. Those attending the meeting will need to make a copy of N1393 for accessing during the meeting. They will also need access to the Fortran 95 standard. B. Review of the content of Fortran 2000 WG5 will review its plans for the content of Fortran 2000 (N1382) and prepare a summary of the changes from Fortran 95. The list of possible minor technical enhancements will be divided into three lists: 1. Items to be included 2. Items to be excluded 3. Items at the discretion of J3 If any item in the list of required contents still needs technical work, WG5 will provide assistance to J3 in this task. C. Review of the Fortran 2000 working draft Instructions on accessing this are in N1391. Those attending the meeting will need to make a copy of for accessing during the meeting. 13 June 2000 The two revised TRs pass their DTR ballots PDTR 15580 (Exception Handling) and PDTR 15581 (Enhanced Data Types) both passed their DTR ballots with flying colours. The votes were identical. Each received 18 YES votes, no NO votes, no comments, 2 abstentions, and 6 'not yet voted'. They now go forward for publication. 1 June 2000 The revised part 2 of the Standard is published The revised part 2 was published on June 1 as ISO/IEC FDIS 1539-2:2000(E).
