[J3] (SC22WG5.6268) Fortran 90 and BOZ literals

[Robert Corbett]

Can you try using Adobe's Acrobat
reader?  Adobe Acrobat often
correctly renders documents other
readers do not handle properly.

The fact that the error seems to
happen where a double quote is
meant to appear is suspicious.
It might be that the PDF file
provided by ISO is flawed, but my
guess is that the file is fine.

Regardless of the printing process,
it seems clear that what I see in the
printed version of the standard is
correct.  The text I see is the same
as the corresponding text in the
Fortran 95 standard.
