Two percent. Is that by weight or volume (contents may have settled during shipping :-)) or by amount of CPU cycles consumed on a yearly basis or dollar volume in the "software market" or what? What's the margin of error on the survey (whose source, by the way, you have conveniently failed to mention)? What are the percentages for other languages of interest? That vendors of commercial software would announce the underlying language used in their implementations is surprising enough to me. That Ada would have as much as two percent of the market is even more astounding. Still, a little backup material on this claim is warranted. -- Karl -- -- Karl Nyberg -- karl@grebyn.com Grebyn Corporation -- 1-703-281-2194 P. O. Box 497 -- Yes, I speak for the company.
