Yes, though they are a bit harder to find. I'm back from my meeting, 
but now have to run off quickly again, but a short summary is to look 
at the WG5 web site <http://www.nag.co.uk/sc22wg5/> (also reachable via 
a link from the j3 site) and go down into the document repository. My 
personal notes say that the 2 f95 corrigenda are N1421 and N1472, and 
that the f2003 corrigendum is N1636. Those personal notes are the part 
that I don't know a simple way to find online. Given that data, you 
ought to be able to get to them, though I don't have time to verify 
that right now.

Yes. They are standing document 6 on the J3 web site 
<www.j3-fortran.org>. But they are a lot harder to paw through. There 
are a lot of them. Also, it is *VERY* important to pay attention to 
their status fields. The standing document includes interps whose 
answers have *NOT* yet been formally agreed on. Just because you see an 
answer, that doesn't mean anything if the interp doesn't have a status 
of being appropriately approved. Sometimes the answer is just one 
person's, and the committee will disagree. Sometimes, even that one 
person doesn't actually believe the answer, but just put up a devil's 
advocate position for the committee to shoot down.
