That being said, it shoudl also be noted that Mil-Std-498 was indeed designed to replace several other documents, including 2167A. Further, the Perry memo does _not_ blanket Mil standards, it merely requires using commercial standards where possible. Since there is no existing commercial documentation standard, use Mil-std-498. It became "official", to my knowledge, sometime last OCtober. Then again, I'm not an "official" channel :-) -- Frustrated with C/C++, Pascal, Fortran? Ada95 _might_ be for you!
