x3j14/READMEd6.txt
--------------------------------------------------------------
From: Elizabeth Rather (X3J14 TC Chair)

Subject: Notice
--------------------------------------------------------------
X3J14, the Technical Committee for ANS FORTH met June 28-30
to consider six comments from the third public review, as
well as proposals from within and outside the TC.
As no substantive changes were made to the draft following
this public review period, the document will be forwarded to
X3 for final processing toward an ANS. If all proceeds as
expected, the final document will be available for purchase
some time in 1994.
An interim draft will be published electronically in about
two weeks for a 30-day informal review to allow reporting of
typographical and other minor editorial mistakes. This draft
may be found on Internet at ftp.uu.net:/vendor/minerva/x3j14
(see READMEd6.txt) and re-posted as anyone sees fit. Typos
should be reported as soon as possible directly to the
Document Editor via X3J14-typos@Minerva.com.
It has taken 5 years 11 months; 22 meetings; and 1543
proposals to reach this point. The total number of work-
hours -- in and between meetings, for TC members and the many
non-members who contributed -- is incalculable. We hope and
believe we have produced a standard that can be supported
widely among Forth implementors and users.
We thank the many people who have contributed to this
achievement.

Subject: Proofreading Instructions
----------------------------------------------------------------
X3J14 is posting dpANS6 for a 30-day informal review to allow
typos and other non-technical errors to be corrected before
the final text is submitted to X3 for final processing to
become ANS Forth. This review period will expire 8/20/93.
You are welcome to acquire the document for the purpose of
scanning for errors. You are also welcome to re-post or
distribute the file, accompanied by this READ-ME text, on any
board or to anyone that might be helpful in this review.
If you find any errors, please report them directly to our
Document Editor, at x3j14-typos@Minerva.com. This is not a
formal Public Review Period; please do not submit comments to
X3 or ANSI. Also, the TC does not plan to meet again prior
to final processing of this document; unless you report a
major technical flaw that has escaped our prior screenings,
any comments or proposals of a technical nature will be
deferred until revisions to the ANS are considered in
approximately four years.
Following this informal review, the document will go under
the control of X3 and ANSI. It will be published by ANSI,
and will be available for purchase from Global Engineering
Documents some time in 1994.
Requests for interpretation of this document may be directed
to the TC; requests for interpretation of the published ANS
should be directed to ANSI, who will pass them to the TC. A
mechanism will be set up within the TC to handle such
requests during the next few years.

The dpans6 document is posted in the following forms on the
server ftp.uu.net in /vendor/minerva/x3j14:
filename structure
dpans6ps.zip PostScript, archived/compressed with ZIP
dpans6.tar.Z PostScript, archived with tar, compressed with "compress"
The contents of these two archives are identical. Each consists of
several PostScript files together constituting the entire document.

Thanks for your help.
