That is definitely the way the game is played elsewhere in the
industry, and requires not only books but pricey seminars with
flyers delivered to everyone who gets any computer magazine, etc.

Get the "education" companies to feel that they can "sell" some
class seats for retraining programmers from C++ to Ada and they
will do all the advertising Ada ever needed.

Please lets have no backlash from CLA academics regarding Ada 95
being easy enough to be self-taught. Self-taught is a dangerous
approach because it fails to fill peoples brochure piles with
the word Ada !!!
