Subject: Latest 754r.pdf (and .sxw)
Document claims to be Aug 18 version, last modified at 11:25 on Aug 18,
even though the directory filedate is Sept 11.
I did however look deeper, and found that the changes you mention (for
"floating-point data" were made. What is unclear however is whether
the base document includes style review updates of Aug 24 and Aug 30.
The Change history stops on Aug 17 and does not include your own entries
for versions 1.1.7 and 1.1.8 that are reflected in draft 1.1.8 of Aug 30,
but a few spot checks (e.g. 3.2.13) suggest that the text changes have
been incorporated.
I just hope we don't have diverging histories here. Can you clarify?
(I'm not familiar with OO 2.0 which my reference to 754r.swx picked up
automatically, so I don't know what the internal "last modified" means.)
Michel.
P.S. I consider myself lucky to have been able to download the documents
from your site, so I'm holding on to them tightly for now.

You may credit the problem with my unfamiliarity with the finer
details of OpenOffice. The document is up to date.
I was unable to figure out how to modify the date field in OO.
The real date is the date of the file or 9/11/06 at 3:30 AM.
I was, however able to roll the version number & you should
find it a couple of numbers later than the last one you saw.
I also did not update the change history. (More oversight on
my part, this time.) The only changes made are those listed
in the accompanying notes related to the new nomenclature.
There is also an OO/1.4 versus OO/2.0 difference. Rather than
explain all that again, suffice it to say we are going back to
OO/2.0 as soon as possible.
I apologise for any confusion.
Dan
