    We develop our engine control systems for commercial and
    government engines using (more or less) the same process. Hence
    both our commercial controls and government controls utilize Ada
    as the language of development. (Our government development caused
    us to bite the bullet early on and get with the Ada program. When
    we put the process in place, we were able to demonstrate
    significant productivity improvement and hence the commercial side
    of the shop bought into it. Ada _PAYS_, folks! Are you
    listening???) "The Mandate" may have got us started in this
    direction, but now it's done by free choice using "Our Own Money."

    BTW: If anyone is interested in jobs in the exciting world of
    Jet/Rocket engines, let me know. Positions may be available in
    both Florida (Government) and Connecticut (Commercial) as we
    experience growth. (We're on a hiring binge at the moment...)

    "...a good bachelor is a living, breathing party all by himself.
    At least that's what my girlfriend said when she found the gin
    bottles under the couch. I believe her exact words were, 'You are
    a disgusting, drunken mess.' And that's a good description of a
    party, if it's done right."
