Gentlemen, I think you're over-reacting to the "obscenity." None of it offends
me. And I suspect your reaction pleases whoever sent it. All you're doing is
playing his/her game--AND cluttering up the net.
In reply to Anonymous, No, Ada is no plot or timewaster. It's a fairly good
attempt to create a widely useful language which also supports software engineering "good" practices. The primary Good Things are data abstraction and read-
ibility.
If Ada turns you off, you may be interested in C++, an attempt by some Bell
people to add SW engineering assists to C without compromising its flexibility
and efficiency.
