I've done open systems-based client/server computing in Ada. Ada works very well, and provides advantages over other solutions. See the paper we wrote on this in the proceedings of the Software Technology Conference from April 94. >> Prototyping > In general, I find Ada quite suitable for prototyping, > however, if you'll look at my original post, I distinctly > said "not prototyping or R&D work". I've done this, too. For prototyps that evolve into 'real systems', Ada is excellent. The advantage is that Ada supports prototyping the structure of systems (i.e. the package design). dave -- --The preceeding opinions do not necessarily reflect the opinions of --The MITRE Corporation or its sponsors. -- "A good plan violently executed -NOW- is better than a perfect plan -- next week" George Patton -- "Any damn fool can write a plan.
