Hi, Guy
    I put the original mail from my boss here. What are you going to say?
    Don't show off too much.
Thanks.
Yongxiang

Yongxiang,

    Could you do another literature search for me?  I'm interested in
papers that explain why Ada is an overly complex language, why it's
a hard language to write a compiler for, and other problems with Ada.

    Thanks a lot.

                        Calvin
