But there are two ways to get a standard API: get everyone to use one API until it's a standard or get a standards body to define a standard. Neither have been done in this field for Ada. (Or for C, or for C++, for that matter. Fortran, on the other hand, has LAPACK and BLAS, which I understand are defacto standards.) -- David Starner - dstarner98@aasaa.ofe.org I see no trend at all, except toward women playing mean and ugly sociopaths who are good at killing and who enjoy dark powers.
