Dear Friends,

The second committee draft of

	Information technology --
	Language independent arithmetic --
	Part 1: Integer and floating point arithmetic

(formerly called the Language Compatible Arithmetic Standard, LCAS) is now
available for anonymous ftp from

	Node:		crl.dec.com
	Directory:	pub/misc
	File:		lia-1-v40-cb.ps		(569K bytes)

This postscript file contains version 4.0 of the LIA-1, and has substantive
differences from the previous version (3.1) marked with change bars.  A
compressed version of this file (Unix compress file format) is available as

	File:		lia-1-v40-cb.ps.Z	(216K bytes)

The first committee draft is still available as

	File:		lia-1-v31.ps		(545K bytes)

There are two follow-on LIA standards also under development

	Part 2: Mathematical procedures
	Part 3: Complex arithmetic and procedures

No drafts for these standards are available yet.
