Robert is one of those guys who eats, sleeps, and breathes Ada (if I recall correctly, he also has a somewhat annoying habit of quiting chapter, section, and paragraph from memory :-). While I think your statement holds a kernel of truth, I'm very inclined to believe Robert's comments (of course, that doesn't stop me from prying into different parts of the language to see what's broken :-) -- 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.) if u cn rd ths, u r gd enuf to chg to Ada :-)
