                         Fortran 2000 Workplan Status Report

     The base for Fortran 2000 is Fortran 95. J3 will integate the material 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.
