J3/97-010r2

Fortran 2000 Workplan

J3 standing document J3/97-010
as of 31 May 1997, after J3 meeting 141

The base for Fortran 2000 is Fortran 95. J3 will integrate the material from the following "R" and "T" items (and any "M"and "B" items that are finished in time) into the Fortran 95 standard to prepare the Fortran 2000 draft standard; J3 will deliver this draft document to WG5 in early 2000.
