Ada is only needed for mission critical (COTS) projects.  Dear, sweet Ami is
used for things like SDI scenerio simulations ( ssssssh don't tell the guy who
wrote the license for the WB upgrade).  Other places of fun and frolic,
such as Lawerence Livermoore labs, some little lab in New Mexico, and others
use the Amiga.  I posted a Federal Computer Week article on several BBS last
year that talked about some of the places that used the Amiga.

By the way, all of you federal types:

I have spoken to R and R Software, JANUS Ada compiler, and was told if they
had enough request for an Amiga port they would definitly consider it.  JANUS
is a fully validated compiler and it sells for about US$300 for their baby
blue version.  The next cheapest validated compiler I found was US$2,300.
If anyone is interested email you response to me and I will compile (?) them
and forward to R and R.
