I don't really want to get into any flame wars with Mike D Bates in this
thread, because he probably will never use Ada and I sure wouldn't consider
using C++ rather than Ada in anything I do.

However this one point needs to be responded to.  Does Mike remember that
Windows 95 started out to be Windows 93?  Apparently Microsoft can survive
the major slips that C/C++ induces, but I sure can't.  For his sake I hope
he can too. :-(
