The AdaSAGE development at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory
has released a new version of AdaSAGE that provides complete GUI
development capabilities for Windows NT. Call the AdaSAGE hotline
at (208)526-0656 for information on obtaining this release.

Why would the user community care what language is used to develope
an application?
No the Ada mandate has not been lifted, and even if it had Ada is still
the best language to use for the development of applications if said
applications need to be developed for the least cost, and be reliable
and maintainable. See the "Home of the brave Ada programmers" WWW page
for information on relative costs of Ada and C/C++ development.
