11 May 94 Dear Reader, At the present time, pending X3J13 vote, this draft (version 15.17, document X3J13/94-101) is an internal draft of the X3J13 committee. In spite of the cover page that we have optimistically placed on this document, this is NOT yet a "draft proposed American National Standard". Since version 14.10 (document X3J13/93-102), ONLY EDITORIAL CHANGES have been made. A detailing of these changes can be found in the files Change-Log.text and Change-Summary.text. X3J13 will be asked by letter ballot whether it would like this version forwarded to X3 and OMC for approval. It is hoped that X3J13 will vote YES, but we will not know for sure until the letter ballot occurs. When the status changes, this document will be updated. If you have procedural questions, you can address them to me at Mail Kent M. Pitman X3J13 Technical Editor Harlequin, Inc.
