All in favor of Richard doing the HTML tutorial, raise your hand. 1...5..49...189.... yup. Tag, you're "it". :-) Actually, there is an "Academic Development Environment" contract that's supposed to provide that very thing. Many months ago, Don Reifer announced that the "winner" would be revealed within a few weeks. Had I only known those were "Dog Weeks", I'd have taken a different attitude about contract award procedures. I'm rather disappointed that a certain project office in New Mexico (not to be named :-) has sat on the darned thing. Sure, they may have good reason, but the contract award has been delayed for SEVERAL months, and the real losers are the students, teachers, and instructors that could benefit from the products of that contract. Now, I'm certain that place has some darned good reasons why nothing's happened yet. And I'm certain if you call them, there's a good explanation. :-) In the end, this has basically translated to a _one year_ delay to get Ada 9X aggressively inserted into the academic community. *Grumble* *Grumble* -- Proud (and vocal) member of Team Ada!
