The British Standards Institution's working group on Modula-2 (IST/5/13) is still very active. It meets every month. There is also an ISO Working Group (ISO/TC97/SC22/WG13) which had its first meeting last April. The next meeting of the ISO group is planned for January 1988 in Nice. The BSI and ISO working groups hope to work together to produce a Modula-2 Standard. During the last six months, IST/5/13's discussions have not been as dominated by language issues as they were in the past; most of the current work is on producing a Formal Definition of the language. Thus, the issue of the "Problems" document that you refer to (M2WG-N103) is very close to the version of the language being formalised. However, IST/5/13 is still interested in comments and I give my latest set of addresses below which I hope you will find more successful. IST/5/13 issues a large number of working papers. These are available either on an individual basis or by subscription from: Richard Karpinski, 6521 Raymond Street, Oakland, CA 94609; phone: (415) 476-4529 or (415) 658-3797.
