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.
