[comp.lang.fortran] Specs on Fortran 8X?

gould@pilot.njin.net (Brian Jay Gould) (12/30/88)

I am in search of the status of FORTRAN 8X, and was hoping
to get a copy of any preliminary specifications.  Can
anyone please help?

I am responding to my own request so that others will know:

---------
From: afs@ardent.com (Al Shpuntoff)

At a commercial bookstore, order:
        Metcalf & Reid, "Fortran 8X Explained", 
        Oxford University Press, New York, 1987.
        ISBN=0-19-853731-X
Mine cost $19.95
        You'll find this an excellent description of Fortran 8X.
----------
Well, I got the book at the Rutgers library and found it to be
very complete and informative (not to mention VERY well written).
My only problem is knowing if the FORTRAN 8X in the book will be 
the FORTRAN 8X approved by the committee.
