(j3.2006) [Fwd: RE: Ada's Fortran interoperability AI]

[Bill Long]

One typo in the attached file - the C Interop TS is 29113 (not 29133).

In general, I agree with Steve?s comments - the way to go here is through the C interoperability capabilities in Fortran (and, I assume, in Ada). 

Cheers,
Bill
