See my e-mail address in the .SIG. Thanks. It seems like that report would be a handy one to cite in some sort of advocacy setting. Don't know what the right forum would be or what the copyright problems might be. Perhaps it could be something that is distilled into a Q/A for the FAQ. Or maybe a short paper that explains the benefits of Ada vs C, et alia, and cites that (and maybe other) studies. Any ideas as to how to make it available in some manner to support Ada?
