It took another few years to become an ISO standard. 1980 Dec: MIL-STD-1815, Ada 80 1983 Feb: ANSI/MIL-STD-1815A, Ada 83 (adopted as an ISO standard 1987) 1995 Jan: ISO/IEC 8652:1995, Ada 95 (Technical Corrigendum 1 adopted in 2000) Hopefully 2007 will see Ada 0X become a standard. On the Ada-comment mailing list there's a discussion of revising the wording for "equivalence" for ordered containers (originally discussed on c.l.a), so it may be a while yet. -- Jeff Carter "From this day on, the official language of San Marcos will be Swedish."
