If Fortran-77 is not subject to revision, and if Fortran-x is required to be a proper superset of Fortran-77, than removing depracated features from Fortran-x is not an option, either at this language extension, or possibly at the next revision. Am I misunderstanding something? -- Scott| ARPA: lamson@crd.ge.com Lamson| UUCP: uunet!crd.ge.com!lamson (518)387-5795| UUCP: uunet!sierra.crd.ge.com!lamson
