That's interesting, Ted... according to the Proceedings of the
Eighth Annual National Conference on Ada Technology (p. 140),
STANFINS-R was completed on time and within budget, and it was
observed that the Ada code ran significantly faster than its COBOL
counterpart. This is despite the fact that STANFINS-R had to take
raw COBOL programmers and train them to be Ada Software Engineers,
despite the fact that a CICS binding did not exist when the project
began (and therefore had to be created during the project), and despite
the fact that a Datacom/DB interface also had to be forced into existence.
Not only was the Army's Information Systems Software Development Center
tremendously pleased with the results, the Air Force has just announced
its decision to use STANFINS-R as its financial software system as well.
Any other flat-out lies you'd like to spread?
