I thought Ada was mandated only for embedded combat software, things like
test sets, etc. were excluded from having to be written in Ada. Has DoD
changed their tune and will now force new business system software, etc. to
be written in Ada. You should understand that were I work, we have a
group that writes business systems and still does it all in COBOL.
Thankfully, I'm not a member of that group.<grin>
