There's now an effort underway to create a website designed to refute the "Fortran Misinformation". Go over to comp.lang.fortran and check the thread "Re: Fortran misinformation", it's been on for a week or so. Is there a similar site for Ada misinformation? It seems a lot of folks know only C/C++/Java, and, as the saying goes "when the only tool in your toollbox is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail"... -- Cheers! Dan Nagle dnagle@erols.com
