Does "introducing Ada9X" look like it will be helpful? Ken. --------------------- Yes, we are including it in an Ada course to be given several times this summer. We plan to tell them about Ada 9X programming in Ada 83 in anticipation of Ada 9X designing to utilize Ada 9X transitioning to Ada 9X (re-tooling, re-training etc) Will it be helpful? I'll know more about that after I receive a list of students, their backgrounds and planned post-training assignments. My cynical side says that maybe the most help will be that it will look good on their resume. The 9X stuff will be lecture only (no lab). That reminds me of teaching Ada in the early 80's before DIGITAL had an Ada compiler. [yes, i recall there was Ada-Ed but VAX system administrators wouldn't let me use it for labs because of the cpu looading] We have RR's beta 9X compiler so we can machine check some of the presentation material. ] I'll post again as things progress. sam harbaugh saharbaugh@roo.fit.edu
