Apparently it is written in a confusing way, because you are confused. > So is this the true NASA standards? http://fsw.gsfc.nasa.gov/gds/code_standards_ada.pdf is _not_ a NASA-wide standard, it is just the standard used by my small group. This is clearly stated in the first paragraph: This document presents the coding standards used by the Goddard Dynamic Simulator project for the Ada language. The title also states that this is specific to a specific project: Goddard Dynamic Simulator Ada Coding Standard > 2.

Ah, thanks; I'll fix that. Yes, I recently added information on using Ada 2005 structures, and advice on when to use access types. But I forgot to update the status of the standard. > 3.

Why would a document called "Goddard Dynamic Simulator Ada Coding Standard" address other projects and other languages? -- -- Stephe
