Re: Ada programs depend on fonts (was: aunit?)

Has anyone compared the GNAT style to the
Ada 95 Quality and Style Guide:
Guidelines for Professional Programmers
available at:
http://adaic.org/docs/95style/

This style guide covers a lot more than code presentation
(which is all that the GNAT style enforces).  It covers such
equally-important subjects as naming conventions, concurrency,
portability, performance, and a lot more.

It also provides a rationale for each of its guidelines -- guidelines
which, if followed, would produce more-readable, more-maintainable,
and better-performing Ada programs.

Just my $0.02 worth.
