In case anyone is interested: AdaIC.org was failing because a PHP update borked the Wordpress "theme" that it uses. We had to pay the hosting company to figure out the problem; they rolled back the PHP and all seems well. This is the bane of using "standard" tools for webhosting; they make it easier to create posts, but also are much more attackable and thus get updated and break a lot more often. (I prefered the old mostly Ada+Html version, but that wasn't my choice.) Ada-Auth.Org was down because a water main broke near my office building and flooded the entire lower level with 14" of muddy water. (This of course shorted out most of the electrical things; luckily all of the computers themselves were high enough to escape damage.) All of the tenants had to move out immediately (the building had to be gutted to eliminate mold and rot problems). I ended up moving all of the computers to my living room, and had to get the business internet and phone moved as well. (That was a major mess, still not quite cleaned up.) Everything appears to be working properly now. Today is the first time I've managed to find time to look at comp.lang.ada since mid September. Someday I might catch up again, but probably not fully until next year. Randy.
