I think the salient point is that e-mail across TCP/IP would be equivalent to Ada - using something developed by the military. Those who loathe the military and don't want to soil their hands by touching anything developed/used by the military need to immediately stop utilizing the Internet. :-) Oh, and BTW - if "The DoD Abandoned Ada" then it ought to be the *perfect* thing for all the anti-Military folks out there to use. If the DoD abandoned the language then it must be that it was just to "Peaceful" a language. :-) MDC -- ====================================================================== Marin David Condic I work for: http://www.belcan.com/ My project is: http://www.jast.mil/ Send Replies To: m c o n d i c @ a c m . o r g "I'd trade it all for just a little more" -- Charles Montgomery Burns, [4F10] ====================================================================== Larry Kilgallen wrote in message news:JCD2TY3nvc0j@eisner.encompasserve.org... > > Certainly email existed without DoD funding.
