Ooops!! Wrong again, care to try for double jeopardy where the stakes get
really high?

Once again in this thread you demonstrate that you are not afraid to speak of
which you do not know.  Shuttle software is written in the HAL/S language.  An
technically excellent but rather obscure language much akin to Ada.  To my
knoweldge the HAL language is used in only two places - JPL and NASA.  Now
*that's* a  niche market!

> Could I conclude then that Jovial's on the rise?!?

You never know... If we can get everyone to believe that it's the 'place to
be' then I'm sure that folks will be running to it in droves. ;)

Thanks for adding a little excitement to the new group.
