Can you explain in short what OWG-V stands for? Is an article in a Law
or what? What do the letters stand for?


It stands for Other Working Group - Vulnerabilities.
It is an SC22 working group which addresses
application vulnerabilities causes by bugs.
It addresses bugs known to increase in frequency
with the use of certain programming language features,
or combination of features.

See http://www.aitcnet.org/isai/ for more.

thanks Dan

I would guess that the largest client for fortran is the US government, so
I think this is less OT than maybe do others. The sub-prime bail-out and
mars lander compete for funding. One of these is a tranfer payment to the
ueberwealthy; the other provides employment for fortran programmers.
