I think this was my point. You can use "Ada 95" without using all of "Ada 95".
Even if you don't use a single new major feature in "Ada 95," I would still
think it would be better to use an Ada 95 compiler just to get rid of some of
those annoying parts of Ada pre-95. Of course, Dr. Ichbias' comments about
conversion costs are very valid, but for a new project, I would always start
with Ada 95 if I could.
Of course, if you want to use a Tartan compiler anytime after the next couple
of years, you're going to get Ada 95 whether you want it or not, pretty much.
For my project, I think this is a Good Thing.
And, boy, those static pointers are going to be GREAT! <g>
Oddly enough, back in the late '80's I was routinely told by various
Air Force and Navy types that we _weren't_ using Ada, since we didn't use
tasking either. I hear a lot less of that these days...
