ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG5 - N249 Canadian Standards Association Committee on Programming Languages FORTRAN Working Group Activity Report to ISO/TC97/SC22/WG5: August 1987 The Canadian Fortran Working Group continues to meet 4 times a year. The membership of our group currently stands at 8, from 5 provinces across Canada. The members are from the following organizations: 2 vendors, 2 government, 4 university. In the January 1987 WG5 letter ballot we voted "yes, with comments". Although we were not fully satisfied with the language as it stood (in particular some of the new features), we hoped that wider exposure during a public review period would enable consensus on a proposed standard to be achieved more quickly. Our current position on the proposed Fortran 8x standard is described in a separate paper submitted to this meeting. Graham Warren Chairman, Fortran Working Group
