   Hello world,   
      
   J3 has passed https://j3-fortran.org/doc/year/24/24-116.txt , a   
   proposal for unsigned numbers in Fortran, in their February/March   
   meeting.   
      
   Gfortran 15, to be released in the beginning of 2025, will contain   
   an experimental implementation of that proposal.  The current   
   development version already has that documentation, so if you   
   are so inclined, you can download and compile it for yourself to   
   try it out already.   
      
   This feature can be accessed by using the -funsigned flag.   
   Some short documentation can be found at   
      
   https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gfortran/Unsigned-integers.html   
      
   Test cases (also doubling as use examples) can be found at   
   https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=tree;f=gcc/testsuite/gfortran.dg   
   (any file that has "unsigned" in its name).   
      
   Bug reports and comments are welcome.   
      
   Enjoy!   
      
   Best regards   
      
   	Thomas
