Thanks-- As the other people here have mentioned, Ada is not dead. See http://www.adaic.org and http://www.adapower.com for more information on the state of Ada. Anyway, this is the wrong forum for this question. This mailing list is for questions and proposals about the Ada standard itself. General questions on the usage of Ada aren't appropriate here; they should be directed to the team-ada mailing list ([log in to unmask], to which I've forwarded this message) or to the comp.lang.ada newsgroup.
