       Ada - "JUST THE THING FOR TACKLING THE WINDOWS APL"
*****************************************************************
DATELINE:  January 6, 1995

The February 1995 issue of "Software Development" magazine features
an article on how to use Ada to develop Window applications.  In
the article, Paul Pukite writes, "It should come as no surprise
that large, well-integrated, reliable, maintainable, and reusable
Ada applications can be developed for Windows.  The development
process becomes more manageable and less obscure by using standard
Ada constructs such as package specifications, generics, tasking,
and exceptions."

"Software Development" is available for sale at technical
bookstores or from the publisher, Miller-Freeman (Phone: 
800/829-5537).
