I like that. I seem to remember that there was a PhD thesis with a lot
of math done in Ada recently (but I lost the reference). I must restate
also this: Ada On The Desktop = *reliable* desktop tools. And the XML
train (Bob Leif championed). I also like the name change idea someone
had a while ago. Let me suggest these: Xania, Xantia.
