Yes    No    Number    Title

---    -x-   000067    Writing zeros

I agree with Malcolm Cohen and Richard Maine

-x-    ---   000068    Asterisks as I/O units

-x-    ---   000069    What is a numeric character?

-c-    ---   000070    Asymmetry between constant specification and
                       initialization expressions

I think a better edit for [54:36-37] and [56:34-35] would be
   Change "the specification expression variables" to "a variable".

-X-    ---   000071    Character array constructors

-X-    ---   000072    Resolving generic procedure references

-X-    ---   000076    INTENT(IN) dummy arguments and implied DO loops

-X-    ---   000077    INTENT(IN) dummy arguments and NULLIFY

---    -X-   000079    Pointer Assignment and Allocatable Arrays

I think it would be more friendly and consistent to say that pointing
to an unallocated allocatable array is legal and gives an unassociated
pointer.  I tried this little program on the 5 compilers (Epc, Nag,
Fujitsu, Digital, SUN) to which I have ready access:
   program main
     real, allocatable, target :: a(:)
     real, pointer :: p(:)
     allocate (p(2))
     write(*,*)associated(p)
     p => a
     write(*,*)associated(p)
   end program main
They all ran and gave the output
 T
 F

-x-    ---   000080    Host association and the EXTERNAL attribute

-x-    ---   000082    Usage of BOZ literal constants

-x-    ---   000083    Scope of array-constructor implied-DO variable

-x-    ---   000084    Events that cause variables to be defined

-x-    ---   F90/000100 ASSOCIATED intrinsic and zero-sized objects

-x-    ---   F90/000179 DO variable with POINTER attribute

-x-    ---   F90/000185 What is the allocation status of an array 
                        after an allocation failure?

-x-    ---   F90/000194 Statements between SELECT CASE and CASE
