Jay Actually, he published it twice. One paper was in TRI-Ada '91, which got the Best Paper award in that conference; the other was in Communications of the ACM, in the Ada section of the November 1992 issue. You really ought to check your facts before making these generalizations. Maybe _ask_ first whether John published anything on this. He's also discussed it in numerous panels in both SIGCSE and SIGAda circles. Mike Feldman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael B.
