Martin, Acting Convenor Subject: Content of Fortran 95 At its 131st meeting, X3J3 voted 15-3 to inform the WG5 Convenor (as per Edinburgh resolution 14) that two of the additional requested items (ENABLE construct and allocatable arrays as structure components) did not have approved proposals and could not be completed in the time established for submitting the Fortran 95 draft for CD ballot. The WG5 Management Committee was contacted as specified in E14, and the decision is to proceed with Fortran 95 without these two features. Germany suggested a delay of one year to incorporate a simplified exception handling capability only, but all others expressed the desire to proceed with the time schedule in the strategic plan. Canada suggested that the date for Fortran 2000 be moved earlier to standardize some important features such as these two and possibly parameterized derived types. We can discuss this alternative in Tokyo. Jeanne Martin email: jtm@llnl.gov postal code: L-300 phone: (510) 422-3753 fax: (510) 423-8704 Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Livermore, CA 94550 USA
