§1What This Note Corrects
RFC 228, titled Clarification, is a single-statement correction by Dave Walden of BBN, dated 22 September 1971. It updates RFC 70 and obsoletes nothing.
It concerns the FORTRAN program on page 7 of RFC 70.
A short note saying that one line in an earlier note was wrong.
§2The Corrected Statement
The RFC says that the second statement before statement 20 in the FORTRAN program on page 7 of RFC 70 should read N=1. That is the whole content of the document.
The note carries the categories B.2 and C.2 in its header. A closing note says it was put into machine readable form for the online RFC archives by BBN Corp. in December 1996.
The wrong line should say N=1. That is all the note says.
§3Why Such a Small RFC Exists
Early RFCs were the working notes of the network community, and a correction was itself issued as an RFC with its own number. The text does not give any further background, so this RFC is best read together with the page it fixes in RFC 70.
Even a tiny fix got its own numbered note so everyone could see it.
