In the next few years, we'll call them "Ada 83" and "Ada 95", to distinguish the versions. Eventually, when everybody's converted over, I suspect we'll call the Ada 95 version, just "Ada". The same thing has happened with Fortan and lots of other languages that have been revised over the years. Does "Fortran" refer to "Fortran 66" or "Fortran II" nowadays? - Bob -- Bob Duff bobduff@inmet.com Oak Tree Software, Inc. Ada 9X Mapping/Revision Team (Intermetrics, Inc.)
