It was also used as an excuse for 'upgrading' to a more modern and fashionable programing language. As far as I know, It's not used as a first language anymore at any university, and I don't know about any code written in Simula still in production. I would like to be proved wrong here. I could not find any information about that on the web pages above. -- Gisle S�lensminde ( gisle@ii.uib.no ) With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. (from RFC 1925)
