Go thru the help wanted ads looking for companies hiring Ada programmers. Usually from the job description you can tell what the company is doing with Ada. In theory, this method should be quite effective in finding non-Mandated applications. Hiring patterns have long been an important indicator of corporate behavior for a variety of business practices. They might not say publicly what they are doing, but they have to hire people to do the stuff, and their hiring ads must make sure the employee's language background matches the project. But Mike, and Lloyd, and all you other true believers of Ada, if you make such a detailed survey, you will find the ratio of C/C++ to Ada jobs to be fifty to one. Which is probably a measure of Ada use in the non-Mandated world. If you make the survey. If you care. -- ************************************************************************** Greg Aharonian Source Translation & Optimization P.O. Box 404, Belmont, MA 02178
