If I am not mistaken, a hell of a lot of cruise missile control is written in Ada anyway; so is airtraffic control software. I still want to know where you get your 98% from ? If I google for "+programming +language +usage", I find absolutely nothing which would suggest that 98% of programmers hate Ada because it does not have "augmented" operators. The only web page I found of interest and absolutely pertinent to "programming language usage" was "http://archive.adaic.com/docs/lang_survey/html/4.htm" (sadly not guaranteed to be unbiased since it as at AdaIC) which shows that there are more lines of Ada code than "C" code in Weapon Systems (which tends to support my earlier claim) and therefore there is no way in hell that 98% of code uses "augmented" operators. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE CLAIMS, SUCH AS 98% OF ANYTHING, WITHOUT SUPPORTING DATA ! -- ------------------------------------------------- -- Merge vertically for real address -- -- s n p @ t . o -- k i e k c c m -------------------------------------------------
