Subject: SGML for next Fortran standard?
X-Charset: ASCII
X-Char-Esc: 29

I have:
  Called Frame Technology.  They are sending me packets for Frame on Unix
  and DOS.

  Called Seybold -- Report on Publishing Systems.  They are sending me
  permission to distribute "Silicon Graphics, Novell Pick SGML for Documents",
  vol 23.1, Sept 7 92, to X3J3.

  Called Electronic Book Technologies (their DynaText SGML based viewer
  is referenced in the Seybold article).  They are sending me product
  description and a windows-based demo.

All of which I will bring to the next meeting.

Rochelle: While having machines available at meetings has become the norm,
  this time we will need windows support for the demo.  I will send you
  a copy of the diskette as soon as I receive it (from Providence RI to
  San Jose Ca to New Haven Conn, sigh).

Andrew: Appreciate the long time you spent on the phone with me; your
  interest in what value might be added is appreciated and I appreciate
  that if no value is added SGML is not likely to be selected.

Kurt: Thanks for your support for keeping the question open.

Vendors: If you are delivering online documentation that is structured
  to support "intelligence" in viewing, I would most appreciate it if you
  could bring to the meeting (or send to me) a description of your methodology.

My thanks to everyone for their patience for what might seem to be an arcane
topic.  I am convinced that, while paper will not go away, online delivery
of the next standard and efficient/effective access to that text by the
user community is a requirement.

Thanks, Dick W.
