Would you be glad to share your methodology for your survey and explain how it is that it was so flawed that it ignored segments of the population for which you claim to be speaking? >I know that such complex software items as the varied flavors of UNIX, >the commercial databases, the commercial wordprocessors, Windows NT, >etc. etc. ad infinitum are all being written in C/C++. They all work. I know that such complex software items as the air trafiic controllers of various countries are being written in Ada. They all work. I'm also glad that you chose to ignore all the postings about bugs in commercial software, databases, operating systems (like the DOS 6.0 problems with compression?). Having your myopia must be wonderful. -- Karl -- -- Karl Nyberg -- karl@grebyn.com Grebyn Corporation -- 1-703-281-2194 P. O.
