Hello,

I was interested in replacing a lot of old Fortran-77 code with Ada 
code. Does anyone feel that Ada95 is
better than FORTRAN? Should we replace this old programming language 
with a better one? Should we
RETRAIN the thinking processes of our MBA students that FORTRAN (that 
great formula translator of 1977) should
be maintained but not used for future development?

>From what we have have seen of Ada95, does it measure up?
