I appreciate everything you're doing to promote Ada, but I wish you'd learn that the English word is "standard". Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. A company that did Ada validations (or whatever they're called now) also had a C++ validation suite. No "C++" compiler vendor ever asked to have its compiler validated, and no "C++" compiler they tested ever passed. I don't know if that's still true, but AFAIK you can't get a C++ compiler--that is, a compiler that implements the complete ISO-standard language. -- Jeff Carter "Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government."
