When in the early morning, August 20th, 1968, NATO tanks warmed up their motors to invade from their side, there was a Soviet tank across the border against every NATO tank. The armed ``tourists'' went home, and peace was kept. The Warsaw pact, good or bad, was strictly observed, and most important, the peace was firmly mainained until today. (I'll restrain myself from political comments. I don't know anybody using the word ``politics'' who can explain what does it mean. Above are facts.) _That_ time ``suppress all _checks_'' was a _working_ approach. I'm not playing ``advocatus diaboli'' here, but just provide the facts shortly FYI. I can answer futher questions in E-mail. However, thanks for a (strained attempt to :-) rhyme with an Ada term! Is it Ada folklore or original?.. My question about the Soviet Ada works is really of interest, and I ask those in Russia who read c.l.a. (there are some 1-way connections) to send me E-mail about relevant data. >Norman H.
