Michael,

Thanks for your thoughtful response.  I agree we have a long way
to go.  And it is through the efforts of people such as you that
we are continuing to make progress.

Just back from Software Technology Conference. The C++ and Java
languages are making real inroads into the DoD software development
now that the "mandate" is abrogated.  However, I met many people who
are still convinced that Ada is the correct choice for software
development when failure is not an option.

Howabout, "Ada. When failure is not an option."
