A lot of things go on wrt the Ada Software Repository that I don't relay to the net, and two such things included two security/activity checks which were made by two separate DoD organizations over the last several months. The ASR received a clean bill of health from both independent checks, even to the extent where we have a letter (yes, in writing!) authorizing the tape distribution to both US organizations and foreign, non-hostile organizations/countries in our hands. I have forwarded the recent messages to Chris McDonald, a security specialist at WSMR who conducted one of those checks. While I am no security specialist, I am quite satisfied with the results of these checks and Chris' message, and ASR activity will continue as per the norm until the situation changes. The August 86 issue of "The Institute" by the IEEE (this is Vol 10, Number 8) has a front-page article entitled "Air Force Proposal to Restrict Databases Faces Stiff Opposition". If the Air Force gets its way, the situation could change. I will also send excerpts from this article in a following message. -------
