- X3J3/S8.112 is an earlier draft of what has now become Fortran 90. The draft
- that was eventually approved was S8.118, I believe. At present (August 1992),
- only the international standard has been published (the identical US standard
- still (!) is hung up by procedural problems). The official designation for
- the standard is ISO/IEC 1539:1991. I believe it can be ordered through ANSI
- (1430 Broadway; New York, NY 10018), but it can also be obtained directly from
- the ISO Secretariat at considerable savings (the ISO price, last I heard, came
- out to about US $120); the address is:
-
- ISO
- 1, rue de Varembe
- Case postale 56
- 1211 Geneva 20
