Message-ID: <1991Jun12.004143.24243@netcom.COM> Date: 12 Jun 91 00:41:43 GMT References: <1991Jun11.183803.10781@colorado.edu> Organization: Netcom - Online Communication Services UNIX System {408 241-9760 guest} List-Id: I actually think Ada is quite well suited for MIS applications--ironically enough, perhaps even MORE so than for embedded real time. The reason I say this is that 1) MIS systems tend to do information modeling, which is a natural transition to OO techniques [which Ada supports] and 2) there is at least one excellent success story, STANFINS-R, that proves that it not is not only possible to do MIS applications in Ada but that it makes SENSE to do them in Ada. -- *** LIMITLESS SOFTWARE, Inc: Jim Showalter, jls@netcom.com, (408) 243-0630 **** *Proven solutions to software problems.
