When they went to X3 (in order to get a charter) things weren't as obvious as they might have been. X3H5 exists, and is working on an abstract model and language bindings to the model. Work is moving quickly, but the committee has not yet published any public documents; those that are interested should consider joining, or at least signing up for the discussion alias From: Walter G. Rudd is the keeper of the lists. x3h5-info@fog.CS.ORST.EDU is the "discussion" list. Bruce Leasure of Kuck and Associates is the chair (bleasure@kai.com). X3H5's "product" will neither replace X3.9-1978 nor ISO DIS 1539 (Fortran 90, best number I can guess at just now), but will augment them both. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Keith H.
