[comp.lang.fortran] The new Fortran standrad

zifrony@TAURUS.BITNET (07/14/89)

This question is referred to the people on the new Fortran standard comitee.
Did you ever publish a summary of the new standard on ACM's SigPlan Notices?
Are you planning such a publication?

The committee very much wanted to do this. Unfortunately, once the
document is passed out of committee it belongs to the sponsoring
organization  ... which is using sales of the draft as fund raising.

ACM is not prepared to pay $50 a copy (or anything aproximating it ..
which I fully appreciate ! :>).
