I am told Jean Ichbiah hated the term "LRM" -- he preferred simply "RM" (reminds me of the country club in Boston called "The Country Club" -- under "T" in the phone book!). For Ada 95, we didn't want to offend the hater(s?) of the term "LRM," and perhaps were willing to recognize the presence of other languages, so using "ARM" became natural. Of course, then we added an annotated version, which became known as "AARM." > > MDC > -- > Marin David Condic > Senior Software Engineer > Pace Micro Technology Americas www.pacemicro.com > Enabling the digital revolution > e-Mail: marin.condic@pacemicro.com > Web: http://www.mcondic.com/ > > "Jerry Petrey @west.raytheon.com>" <"jdpetrey wrote in message > news:3C5FF78B.D3E73A94@west.raytheon.com... > > > > LRM was the common term for the Ada 83 Reference Manual back at the time I > got > > involved with Ada in the late 80's. > > -- -Tucker Taft stt@avercom.net http://www.avercom.net Chief Technology Officer, AverCom Corporation (A Titan Company) Bedford, MA USA (AverCom was formerly the Commercial Division of AverStar: http://www.averstar.com/~stt)
