This is about where I gave up wading through the 1016-line post (around line
500).  I was working with Teledyne Brown Engineering at Fort Sill, OK when the
AFATDS project was underway -- BACK IN 1985!!!!  I think we all admit that the
compilers were "dogs" back then...

Anyone with a grain of Ada experience knows that TODAY's compilers are orders
of magnitudes better than what was available 5 or 6 years ago.
