[SCC_Active_Members] A gift from the ACM

[John Toole]

Paul,

Nice work!  Len, as you probably know, is a member of the ACM History
Committee, and Mark has been very helpful to the Museum on a number of
things.  I'm very glad to see this, since it's a good precedent.

Did you original email/letter request permission on behalf of the Museum
or you only as an individual?  Mark's letter seemed ambiguous on
that...just trying to keep our paper trail clean.

Thanks for all you are doing.

--John

Yesterday I received the attached email from Mark Mandelbaum (Director 
of ACM's Office of Publications) giving ACM's permission to post 
full-text copies of several ACM-copyrighted papers to the SCC FORTRAN 
web site. I'm very grateful for this. I first made the request last May,

via Rick Snodgrass, who co-chairs ACM's History Committee. This was 
perhaps not the most direct approach, but it seems to have worked. Rick 
is very pleased to see ACM and CHM collaborating.

I've updated the FORTRAN web site:
