I hope as a result to have a revised document for consideration in July. N.B. I have also taken account of the UK country vote which did not manage to get to Jeanne by the time she sent out her summary of the ballot results. The revised country vote is included in parens. 1. The document will be re-numbered as ISO/IEC 1539-2 : 1994 and referred to as the second part of the the multi-part Fortran family of standards. (1-3) 2. INIT and FREE procedures will not be added. (1_3) 3. No action required. 4. The input/output procedures will be renamed to have the generic names GET, PUT, PUT_LINE (I find it difficult to interpret the country votes relating to this question. Individual votes favour the above so I have implemented that. This is editorially a simple change and could be modified again if necessary.) 5. The GET procedures will be simplified to be EoR terminated. (1-1 but individual vote 15-8 in favour) 6. The SPLIT procedure has been added. (1-1 but individual vote 15-7 in favour) 7. An IOSTAT failure will be added that is caused if the result cannot be returned because of an allocate error. (3-1) 8. A length argument will not be added to VAR_STR. (1-2) 9. The name CHAR will be retained for the relevant conversion procedure. (3-1) 10.No action required. 11.The style of description will not be altered to adopt the format of section 13 of the main language standard. However, the description of INDEX in particular will be re-drafted to make the explanation clearer. (1-3) -- Dr.J.L.Schonfelder Director, Computing Services Dept.
