A very good book that every programmer should read.  The 2nd edition has
just come out, with some egregious cricisms of Ada.  And I was naive enough
to hope that once type extension and dynamic dispatching were added,
Bertrand would like Ada.  Comments, anyone?

P.S. He actually has a link to your dissertation in his book, Mats.
