Failure of Ada 95 Booch Components Beta release

["Colin James III (The Rt Rev'd)" <cjames>]

Should we expect anything but failure from those contractor-slime losers, 
David Weller and Theodore Dennison ?

All Weller had to do to convert the Booch components to Ada95 was to get 
the _complete_ Ada83 components from Booch (when I checked 5-years ago, 
the cost was $1000 from Booch directly, and the format was Apple-only, 
for a real developer's machine), then write a simple look-up table 
program to replace the old constructs with new -- (read as trivial, and 
probably already done by SGI weenies).

Maybe Gary McKee could help;  he's getting taxpayer dollars for the pork 
barrel/boondoggle of promoting Ada95 on Apples.

But I think it is worth the time of the Ada community to hear Weller hold 
forth for 90-minutes at their next smooze-fest on the East Coast about 
other people's work.

I'll watch all of them in the funny papers.
