Message-ID: <"910520033903.71660.412.CHE77-1"@CompuServe.COM> Date: 20 May 91 03:39:03 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet List-Id: If I worked for a DoD contractor (which I don't) and that contractor had a DoD contract (which it doesn't) to do software development (which it doesn't)... enough disclaimers..... If the hypothetical contractor got a waiver to do the development work in C and not Ada, even though there is a validated compiler available, and the waiver was gotten on honest but not totally honest terms then what can I do. The evidence for the hypothetical waiver was honest and correct but ever so slightly skewed. What are the repercussions possible to the company, i.e. could the government review the waiver and changed its mind if the original evidence had a minor (or major) defect? Is there a government office where the hypothetical company could be reported to for examination of violation of the Ada mandate? Disclaimer. Only a hypothetical case as there is no DoD contractor that I know of that would even for one minute think of trying to avoid the Ada mandate by getting a waiver for anything other than a very valid reason. How does a person not get fired after making a claim against such a hypothetical company doing such a hypothetical thing?
