Ada was named long before there was any web or Google, so that could hardly have been a consideration. :-) In any case, the AdaIC has a search engine that searches most sites that have Ada content and nothing else. If you're having trouble with Google, give it a try. Find it at: http://www.adaic.com/site/wide-search.html (BTW: This page may move to a different location on the new AdaIC site, which is coming soon. Most pages will be forwarded to their new locations, but there is always the possibility of it getting broken.) Randy.
