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. -- Jay Maynard, EMT-P, K5ZC, PP-ASEL | Never ascribe to malice that which can jay@splut.conmicro.com (eieio)| adequately be explained by stupidity. attctc, RIP.
