Re: INFO-ADA Digest V93 #359

Gee, Greg, you can't have it both ways.  You complain that the
government undercuts your reuse business, and then you want the
government to produce CD-ROMs.  There are 2 (count them) CD-ROM's full
of Ada currently in production.  MITRE is not permitted to compete
with private industry, and as a policy government tries to avoid doing
work that can be done by the private sector.  

Incidentally, which CD-ROM format do you suggest?  Have *YOU*
considered publishing a CD-ROM?  Frankly, 3 1/2" 720kb DOS formatted
disks are about the most universal medium I know.  There are a heluva
lot more people with PC's (and Mac's that can read PC disks, and Suns,
etc that can read PC disks) than there are CD-ROM readers...
