If you wanna argue about how ADA is better than COBOL, _please_ don't
cross-post to the COBOL group, either. We want language wars as little
as you do.

I might point out that this was all started by an ADA-ite who kept
proselytizing in alt.cobol, despite the expressed wishes of those in this
group.

I thank you, and so, I'm sure, do other folks who wanna discuss COBOL here -
and don't give a fuzzy rat's posterior about whether, or how, ADA may or may
not be better.
