There, I intend to set up as a part-time consultant. However, I shall continue to maintain links with the world of Fortran and, in particular, I shall continue to maintain and distribute the monthly Information File. That started life five years ago with just one compiler and three books! So please keep sending me your updates. This month's edition is in the following message. Also, I shall be accepting Wolfgang Walter's kind invitation to join the German DIN Fortran group, and will work more closely with Walt Brainerd and his Fortran Market and Imagine1, Inc. And John Reid and I have plans for you too! Between Friday and mid-January I'm likely to be out of electronic contact. I shall return on-line with a new e-mail address, but this one will remain valid for some considerable time, courtesy of my present employer. Season's Greetings to you all, Mike Metcalf There follows a commercial break: ANNOUNCEMENT ------------ Michael Metcalf, formerly of CERN, Switzerland, and an ex-member of X3J3 and WG5, is now an independent consultant based in Bonn, Germany. Over the years he has developed a highly successful Fortran 90 course that lasts for six 75-minute sessions. He has adapted this course to F, and is happy to negotiate holding either version anywhere in the world. The courses are based on the books "Fortran 90/95 Explained" and "The F programming language" of which he is co-author (with John Reid). These courses are suitable for graduates and faculty members, or equivalent level, and are a useful way to 'kick-start' a Fortran 90 or an F activity at a given site. He can be contacted at michael.metcalf@cern.ch, or at Jahnallee 3, 53173 Bonn, Germany (Tel. +49.228.36.62.90)
