I guess there is no way (or even need) to recode all the software just
in another language. There are C-guys out on the net who more or less
know what they're doing.

The only way to improve Ada's influence in today's software-variety
is to start new (and relevant) projects right from the beginning in
Ada.

So to say, don't migrate from C to Ada within sendmail, just write a
full-featured MTA in Ada being that good to be sendmail'Succ.
Sure the world probably doesn't need another MTA (or even MUA), so
times are hard. But freshmeat.net has a lot of projects in competition 
to existing counterparts, so there's always a market for more Ada.

Show the world that software XYZ can work/make things easier and it'll
spread. Did the mass know Qt before KDE?

And could you please fix your newsreader? These two lines are considered
an introduction-line. One line. The message-ID is completely irrelevant, 
it is already referenced in your header.

Next, why do you post your answer before the question? Do I want to
read your answer earlier than even knowing to what you're answering?

Do you start a telephone-call with a closing greeting?
