- Can someone confirm if this is true - ANSI with FORTRAN 90 have produced
- a standard for parallel and sequential compilers - allowing the sequential
- machines to optimise calculations in a different way. I would have thought
- that ANSI would do exactly the same with a new ANSI C standard - and say call it
- ANSI C 92 (or some such).
-
- Also - what is the chance of ANSI proposing a standard for C++ that
- would also allow parallel 'constructs' - and can we expect it before 1994.

- Thanks in advance,
- Andy Stratton.
