This raises a question -- are there any C to Ada translation programs.
We (SDMS Inc.  CCA is just the machine that we use for Vax BSD work) have
a product that sells into people who sell into DoD.  My opinion of Ada
is not germane; at some point we are going to have to come to terms with
Ada and we may have to deal with the prospect of converting to Ada for
some markets.  I expect that other software vendors are in the same boat.

Does such a package exist?  Are there rumors that somebody is doing it?
Any information on the possibility would be of interest.
