My PhD thesis work on fuzzy machine learning was in Ada 83, 10 years ago, but I still can run my code on practically any modern system. I also used Ada 95 for image pattern recognition, that's from production quality control systems to rain detection sensors. The only reason I ever used a language other than Ada is when a customer required so. -- Regards, Dmitry A. Kazakov www.dmitry-kazakov.de
