I am told the ISO balloting period ends 10 April. I would greatly appreciate informal feedback well prior to that so I can attempt to get the IEEE ballot recirculation accomplished, if necessary. Once again, this is a limited access experiment and I would appreciate it if you would not broadcast this out to the Net. Thanks, Hal Jespersen ----------- P1003.2a Draft 8 is now available in various electronic forms to assist the review process. Our thanks to Andrew Hume of AT&T Bell Laboratories for providing online access facilities. Note that this is a limited experiment in providing online access; future ballots may provide other forms, such as diskettes or a bulletin board arrangement, but the instructions shown here are the only methods currently available. Please also observe the additional copyright restrictions that are described in the online files.
