nice discussion on Ichbiah's comments on availability of components.
Interesting to note that this could prove to be a springboard for a similar
set of Ada (9X) components.

To set the record straight. Ken first started writing about the need for
software components circa 1977. I may have somewhere in the archive copies of
the rationale for the UCSD Pascal "unit", which may be considered to be an
ancestor of the Ada package. I don't have records of Jean's history, but
have managed to follow Ken pretty closely over the years. You will find
discussion of the software component concept in Ken's introductory Pascal text.

There is one world problem which overshadows everything: overpopulation.
However, no one is quite brave enough to suggest a solution.
I, for one, know that nature will choose solutions for us, if we don't.
