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.
