To learn "Ada" (not ADA) try the following on-line books: http://www.adapower.com/learn/adadistilled.html http://www.it.bton.ac.uk/staff/je/adacraft/ http://burks.bton.ac.uk/burks/language/ada/ada95.pdf > 2) Do the government still use ADA for what it was designed for? It's not just the US govenment (by that I take it you mean military) that uses Ada. Here's a page dedicated to logging Ada using companies/organisations http://www.seas.gwu.edu/~mfeldman/ada-project-summary.html Have fun! :-) Cheers -- Martin
