I sent my papers concerning the development of Fortran 90 to Loren
Meissner.  He has organized them, and presented them to the Computer
History Museum as a donation.  The attachments summarize the donation.

A few weeks ago, Van Snyder sent me some correspondence from the“era of
the Fortran Crisis” that climaxed in 1988.

This era is the subject of his CHM A2016.5316 donation, which consists
of one box. 

I have fastened the papers into a pin-binder about 3 / 4 inch thick,
similar to the binders shown on the left in the attached Box photo. The
photo shows that another binder would easily fit into the box.

I think that this would add some detail to the subject, and provide
anyone who explores that era with additional background.

I can send the binder to Aurora Tucker at 48431 Milmont Dr, Fremont (via
USPS or FedEx etc); or I can arrange some other transfer procedure with
Paul McJones.
