RFC 228: CLARIFICATION 💅✨

Okay bestie, so this one is a tiny but iconic little doc 🎀. It's written by Dave Walden from BBN (the NIC number is #7645 🦋), dated 22 September 1971, and it's in categories B.2 and C.2. It updates RFC #70 and obsoletes nothing, so nothing gets retired here 🌸. This RFC was put into machine readable form for the online RFC archives by BBN Corp. under the direction of Alex McKenzie, in 12/96 💜.

The Fix 🔥

The second statement before statement 20 in the FORTRAN program on page 7 of RFC #70 should read:

N=1

That's literally the whole thing 😭. Dave caught a typo in the code from RFC #70 and just fixed it. If you're reading RFC #70 and copying that program, swap in N=1 for that line and you're good 🫶.
