I wanted to point out a couple of assumptions implicit in
Gregory's archie query:

	1.  the query was case-sensitive.
	2.  Archie queries are based on file (and dir) names.

Therefore, if any Ada stuff appeared without the string 'Ada'
in its file name, it wouldn't appear in the query results.
Note this is valid for all archie data, not just Ada.  For
example, most of the comp.sources.unix submissions are
written in 'C'.  But very few are distinguishable as being
written in 'C' just from the file name.

In any case, as a point of comparison, somebody want to run 
an archie query on 'c++', 'fortran', 'cobol', etc.  and 
summarize the results?
