>>From the May 6, 1993 issue of Washington Technology, page 3:

	Verdix Corporation, a leading supplier of software engineering
	products using the Ada programming language, is attempting to
	sell its security products division.  The firm is looking to
	refocus resources on its core software programming business,
	particularly efforts in products for the C++ computer language,
	which has eclipsed use of Ada outside of the Pentagon.


    What will it take for the DoD to see the light and drop the Mandate?
For all Ada compiler companies to fail and/or refocus on C++? For all Ada
components vendors to fail and/or switch over to C++?  For all of the
services to pay lip service to the Mandate? For DoD software developments
costs to go through the roof?   WHAT??????
