Yes, that computes.  I now remember further that the guy I talked to at
the SEI said his company had also done the French line.

I have in front of me (taken from the SIGAda booth at OOPSLA'99
yesterday) the very brief, half-page Ada Success Story titled "Ada Used
in the Paris METRO System."  It seems to name GEC-Alsthom as the trains
contractor and Matra Transport "for the automatic systems."  I assume
we're trying to track down the latter.  It says "For further info,"
contact Alsys World Dialogue in San Diego.  This was a reprint from
"Alsys World Dialog," Spring 1994, Vol.8, No. 1.  Presumably this is now
Aonix, and that they are now using ObjectAda is as good a guess as any.
BEN?   Anyone else from Aonix?   -hh
