Ada Sage

Ada Sage

[Jeffrey D Hanson]

Is there any real use for Ada Sage out in the world?  I had the opportunity to 
work with it for a few months and I was wondering if there was any real reason 
to keep up with it.  I haven't really heard too much about it being used for 
anything.  Any comments are welcome.

    That depends on how you define the world.  There is not a lot of usage
outside of the government, but there is some (less than 50 systems).  If
you mean the world outside of the USMC, there is a huge user base in all
of the services as well as the Dept of Energy.  A number of "Purple"
systems are being written/re-engineered using the libraries.  In addition,
there are a number of users outside the U.S..  AdaSAGE has actually been
better recieved in Europe than in the U.S.

    Incidentally, were you in Oki in '91?
