Neither the "American Dental Association" or the "American Disabilities Act" are really suitable computer computer languages for writing libraries or anything else for that matter. :-) Ada, on the other hand is very suited to that task. Ada is a name not an Acronym. Ada is named for Ada Augusta Lady Lovelace. She was the daughter of the poet Lord Byron and also was the worlds first computer programmer. She wrote several sample programs intended for Charles Babbage's never built Analytical Engine. -- mark@biggar.org mark.a.biggar@comcast.net
