Subject: Porting Projects to Ada


	I'm looking for information/experiences (no "general comments" 
pls, I got all I want!) on the porting of existing programs from any 
HOL to Ada.  I'm involved on a project that was done in 'C' and some 
assembly (for speed).  As with most 'C' people, our 
documentation/comments stink.  Our user is looking to new platforms as 
well as additional functionality (spell development).  Add to this, 
we'll be doing it in an X environment.  Specific comments on the 
following will be appreciated:

	-actual vs planned schedule
	-actual vs planned cost
	-Ada programmers first, or did you retrain other HOL people?
	-any functional impacts on the original system?
	-tradeoff decisions.

	If this is discussed in past issues, possibly someone (Mr 
Administrator?) could point me to them.  Thanks in Advance.
