   At Tri-Ada '89, Sholom Cohen told me that the Numerics Working group
   took about eight years to come up with a standard math package, and 
   that the Ada Run-Time Environment Working Group also required about
   eight years to come up with a standard run-time environment package.

   These should make it into Ada 9X, and should take care of some of the
   remaining portability problems.  Apparently there is quite a lot of  
   work involved in coming up with good solutions to these problems, but 
   progress is being made on these very important issues.
