Subject: Fortran 2000 Status Report



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.
