More Java and Python and the like.  Although you have to admit far more
students will know about C than Ada.  I pretty sure I heard it
mentioned once in my undergrad, and that was the prof in the OS class
asking if anyone had ever used it.

To the rest thanks.  I think I'm getting it now.
I found Ada Distilled today though this group and that makes the
transition a little easier.
I've been trying to use "Ada as a 2nd Language", and while it's really
indepth, it's difficult to understand if you're used to the C/Java way
of OO. IMHO.
Thank again.
