08-233r2 To: J3 From: Van Snyder, originally Michael Ingrassia Subject: Public Comment J32019 Date: 2008 August 11 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Commenter: Robert Corbett Subject: "undue claims concerning compatibility" Section 1.5 claims to describe all incompatibilities between the current standard and the previous standards back to the FORTRAN 77 standard. It never has. It would be better to say that the major incompatibilities are described. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- J3 response: We thought we caught them all. If specific instances are omitted, and brought to our attention, we would be happy to specify them. There are, however, other minor structural difficulties in subclauses 1.5.4 and 1.5.5. [1.5.4p1] Editor: Replace "this subclause" with "subclauses 1.5.3 and 1.5.4" to include the incompatibilities mentioned in 1.5.3 (but not those mentioned in 1.5.5). [1.5.5p1] Editor: Replace "specified here" with "specified in subclause 1.5" to include the incompatibilities mentioned in 1.5.3, 1.5.4 and 1.5.5.
