	I attended a conference in December of '68 (I believe) where the ADA
	environment was discussed for three days. The consensus (it seemed to
	me) was that everone there wanted a UNIX environment, perhaps with
	ADA in C's place as THE language (the perhaps was real - even then a
	lot of attendees weren't sure whether ADA was what they really
	wanted).

That must have been an exciting meeting, since Unix didn't exist yet and
ADA was still ten years away...
