I recently visited IBM's Clear Lake facility and, in particular, the
On-Board Shuttle software effort.  This group has the distinction of
being the only SEI Level 5 organization in existence.  They write in
HAL and the code they cut costs about $3,000 per line.  That's about
100 times the cost of run-of-the-mill code and IMHO worth every penny.

							Cheers, Scott
