<<The old version of Ada (usually known as "Ada 83") was developed _for_ the
Department of Defence, U.S.A. - The present version of Ada (sometimes called
"Ada 95") was developed as an international standard.>>
That's not quite right. Ada 83 was also an international standard. The
DoD helped fund the development work, but it was not developed *for* the
DoD.
Actually the 83 of 1983 comes from the date of the ANSI standard, some
people like to tall the language Ada 87 to date it from the ISO standard.
For Ada 95, the development of the two standards was syncrhonized.
