(to the attention of Mr. Jan W. van den Beld   ---   ECMA Secretary General)

Dear Mr. van den Beld,

Thank you for your prompt reply and your positive response.

With regard to the 4th Edition of the Standard, it will depend on how 
advanced we are, in our development effort, when that document is made public.

Thanks again for your kind words.


Sincerely,
Raif S. Naffah - INSA (Lyon) eng.
