However, in the verbal requirements they included a section of the web-site should be private and limited to the residents of the community. Requirement: Therefore, we need a secure application that runs on the server and accepts the user's email address as a log-on together with a password. Benefits to Ada: Although, I will not sponsor a custom project, I do believe that this type of software would be benefited by the image of Ada or, better yet, SPARK. High reliability should be a commercial advantage. The program could plug Ada by informing the user that they are now being protected by the use of high-reliability Ada software. Implementation and Marketing: I hope this suggestion stimulates some action by some of my fellow readers of Comp.Lang.Ada. Since this would be a COTs project, it might be possible to sell it to the DOD. However, I believe that the application should be sold and delivered via the Web. Fortunately, the use of the Web eliminates any requirement for shelf space. Bob Leif
