Certainly we are happy to answer Ada 83 questions when we know
that someone is limited to Ada 83, and from time to time we
do get questions of that kind :-) But the future of Ada depends
on Ada 95 (I don't think anyone sees much *future* in Ada 83,
though of course it is serving well in legacy programs [just
like Larry's pile of Vaxes :-)]
