Comment for F03/0063:

To remove procedure pointers from common blocks, additional edits seem
to be needed [ref in 04-007]:

[98:18] Remove "or <proc-pointer-name>"  {113:3 in 09-007}.

[98:25] Remove "or <proc-pointer-name>"  {113:10 in 09-007}.

[411:21] Remove item (7) in the list of names in a scoping unit that
override the same host-associated name. {452:22 in 09-007}.


---------------------
Comment for F03/0064:

The text following Example 1 in the Discussion says "which is being
declared by an interface body is *NOT* previously declared".  But
there is no interface body in Example 1. Similarly, Example 2 also has
no interface bodies.  The examples do not seem relevant to the topic
of the ANSWER section. Maybe both examples should be deleted.

---------------------
Comment for F03/0128:

In the EDIT section the reference [247:17] should be [247:27].


---------------------
Comment for F03/0129:

In the EDITS section, the reference [399:2-2] should be [399:2-3].
