Subject: Patriots and Ada

Message-ID: <1991May24.214520.16972@netcom.COM> (raw)
A couple of people have had the gall to use a national tragedy (the
SCUD that slipped through the Patriot defenses and hit the barrack) as
a means to attack Ada in e-mail correspondence with me.
Ignoring both the crassness and speciousness of this attack, I would
like to point out that the Patriot system is actually programmed in
FORTRAN and assembly. Furthermore, the problem was traced to a hardware
glitch.
