Holy smokes! You could have knocked me over with a feather on this one! SGI is the STRONGEST supporter of Ada95 -- they had a large demonstration booth showing off their Ada WOrkshop product. Awesome is an understatement. They even demonstrated interoperability with C++ by showing that you can inherit from a C++ class (and C++ classes can inherit from tagged types in Ada95). I think you can e-mail Dave McAllister (mcallister@wpd.sgi.com) for more info. SGI would be HAPPY to talk to you about their Ada95 solutions :-) -- Frustrated with C/C++, Pascal, Fortran? Ada95 _might_ be for you! For all sorts of interesting Ada95 tidbits, run the command: "finger dweller@starbase.neosoft.com | more" (or e-mail with "finger" as subj.)
