Table on usage of OS and Language.

   Which OS and Languages do you     Which ones do you except to use 
   use now?                          in two years?

      DOS         85.0%                     C or C++    64.6%
      C or C++    71.8%                     Unix        54.2%
      Windows 3.x 67%                       Windows NT  53%
      Unix        51%                       DOS         48%
      Assembly    49.4%                     Windows 3.x 47.8%
      Real-Time 
          kernels 26.2%                     Assembly    33.7%
      Macintosh   23.7%                     Real-time
                                                kernels 26.3%
      Fortran     17.3%                     Macintosh   17.5%
      Pascal      14.8%                     Ada         11.1%
      Ada          8.7%                     Fortran      8.1%
      Windows NT   5.3%                     Pascal       5.4%
      Other       12%                       Other        9.4%


I thought it interesting that C or C++ went down while Ada went up.
