Ada 95 is given but Ada 87 is not. Since this is a secondary standard to Ada 87, its reference must be given in Clause 2. ISO/IEC 13813 should also be mentioned. The project editor concurs with this comment. The secondary standard issue is covered by the statement "This International Standard is applicable to programming environments conforming to ISO/IEC 8652:1987 and is relevant to the revised standard ISO/IEC 8652:1995." The reference to ISO/IEC 13813 has been added. 2) In the main text of the Standard, other International Standards are referred to as ISO/IEC xxxxx:yyyy including the established year. This seems inadequate and conflicting to the first paragraph of Clause 2. "yyyy" part should be dropped. The project editor concurs with the request to drop the established year from references to ISO standards. The year is included only when a distinction must be made between two editions of the same standard. 3) In Notes of Clauses 12 and 13, the term "Ada Reference Manual" is used. This seems inadequate. Official Standard name should be used. The project editor concurs. "Ada Reference Manual" has been changed to ISO/IEC 8652:1987. 4) In Annex B, ISO/IEC 13813:1966 is referred to, but this is obviously incorrect. That standard is not yet approved. The project editor concurs. The date has been removed. Since this standard and ISO/IEC 13813 are being processed at the same time, the reference will be valid at publication time. France Comments on ISO/IEC DIS 13814: 1) Change the French title. The project editor agrees that the French title should be modified as suggested. The project editor cannot implement this change since the project editor is not responsible for the translation of the DIS 13814 title into other languages. However, the project editor does hereby recommend that ISO/IEC adopt the title suggested in this comment as the French title for DIS 13814. ISO Comments on ISO/IEC DIS 13814: 1) Editorial markups. The project editor agrees with the editorial markups and has made the changes. Polish Committee for Standardization Comments on ISO/IEC DIS 13814: 1) The final version of ISO/IEC 13814:1996 would be much more readable if the same style of writing as in ISO/IEC 8652:1995 is adopted (i.e. keywords in bold, etc.) The project editor agrees and has done his best within the limitations of LaTeX and the available Post Script printer fonts to get the ISO/IEC 8652 style, including keywords in bold. ___________________ end of SC22 N2641 __________________________
