ha! weird! my first post appears via my work newserver but not
my news server at home! (I had forgotten to add a subject, so
presumable some news servers filter on this...)

My original question was - the Ada Quality and Style Guide
references Schneiderman's "The Territory, Paths and Destinations"
and in particular cites it for not using 'too long' identifiers. But
having trawled google et al I can't find this paper on any internet
site. Can anyone give a brief explanation of what the paper says
and what the maximum length he determined should be?

Or, preferably, give me a URL to the paper!

Thanks and apologies again!
