The DoD relinquished its trad= emark (serial number 73230945, applied for on 11 September 1979, granted 1 = December 1981) on Ada as of 1 July 1988. DoD's Ada Joint Program Office was= disbanded in September 1998: http://gcn.com/Articles/1998/06/22/Its-curtai= ns-for-the-Ada-Joint-Program-Office.aspx Thanks for that information - I carelessly opened a can of worms with my as= ides earlier- interesting to know there is no connection for Ada with its o= rirgins any more apart from historical? - maybe I should shut up at this po= int. That's a useful snippet of info/ Austin
