Re: History of Ada - to answer your question

[anon@anon.org (anon)]

I read this back in the early 2000s somewhere that DOD had stop 
supporting Ada or what they call the "Ada Joint Program Office" 
back in 98. So, in my last post about the GNAT DOS I check 
google and came across the GCN article ( link follows ) that 
gave some information about this. The fun part in reading this 
was that the article started that congress did not understand 
the DOD decision. [ Congress, not understanding? Go figure! ]
