Hi John,

Perhaps some clarifications to my comments would make a better record:

"Developments in the MPI 3 Fortran interface looked encouraging although 
there was a lack of knowledge of Fortran."

Replace last sentence with:

"There was now a Cray C++ coarray compiler with the Fortran semantics 
and analogous syntax reproduced in C++ using a class library.  No change 
to the actual C++ compiler was involved."

{They could not have the identical Fortran specification since that 
includes Fortran statement syntax.}

"The OpenMP Board were incorporating the capabilities of OpenACC and had 
almost completed the work."

{They use OMP directives; not the ACC sentinel characters.}

Cheers,
Bill
