One was a study in the domain of jet-engine control, which I think was presented by some guy named Condic. Is there a link to this study? That would be a nice thing to have. The other is the Rational/Verdix study in the domain of Ada compilers, which is available on AdaIC.org. There are other studies also available on the AdaIC site, such as John McCormick's. They don't present their results in a comparable way, but the general message is the same for all of them. -- Jeff Carter "I blow my nose on you." Monty Python & the Holy Grail 03
