(About DEC Ada) You can write perfectly portable code with it;
just ignore the extensions and you have `casher' Ada 83...

Of course I guess it is simpler in my case (solving partial differential
equations) than for technical computing which is made easier with
Ada 95 standard features - the Interfaces packages etc.

Note that I'm using the same finite element code to solve the
equations (on an AXP/OpenVMS) and for the plottings on PC
with GNAT - not a comma to change!
