John writes that even he isn't sure what "version" they finally used:

"I am not willing to pay CHF 340, so I cannot look at it and tell you 
whether our (very minor) edits were incorporated. My guess is not, since 
they say it is the second edition and one of our changes was to point 
out that it is the fourth.

The failure to communicate with me or Richard Maine is extremely 
annoying. Many thanks, David, for telling me about it."

Note: John is chairman of WG5, the ISO Fortran Standardization group and 
Richard Maine is the editor for J3, the ANSI Fortran Standardization 
group, who does the technical (ground) work.
