If the way to achieve a solution is not an issue, hence, you might be free to choose your own means to get the work done. I work for a company in the heavy steel business. I don't work full time programming, but almost all my programming is done with Ada. I produce mainly reports from databases and dynamic intranet pages. I keep a rather low profile, I don't overemphasize the means how I achieve my goals, so I have managed to keep my "private" small workshop with Ada. Not a glorious situation, but at least I can do my Ada coding... Anders Wirzenius
