Ummm just one small point here. If you can find an X windows engineer
who is paid less than a standard Ada programmer then he is well
underpaid.
There are more 'C' programmers than Ada programmers but on the
other hand there are a damned sight less decent X people out
there than Ada people.

PS The ATC market place has alot of huge contracts out at the moment and
they are all majority Ada projects because C won't cut the mustard.
