- Gail did not get stonewalled, sidetracked, ignored nor bitbucketed. (Or if
- she did, it was not permanent.) I've just recently authorized DEC Fortran
- updates and change notices to appear on such a service which I have every
- reason to believe is "coming soon". I'm sure Gail will make an announcement
- when the time comes; I have no further details.
