It seemed odd to me that ISO/IEC 1539 : 1991 (E) would claim to be identical
to ISO/IEC 1539 : 1991, so I pulled out my copy of ISO/IEC 1539 : 1991 (E)
and checked. I found no such claim in the foreword. There also is no reference
to FORTRAN 77, X3J3, or IEC/ISO JTC1/SC22/WG5. It does say
International Standard ISO/IEC 1539 was prepared by
Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC 1, Information technology.
My guess is that the quotes in question came from a draft of the standard,
not the standard.
Yours truly,
Robert Corbett
