The answer to the first part of your question is contained in the earlier
statement.  No, I havent USED ADA.  As I stated earlier I would never use
it for anything.

I have investigated the language.  I dislike it for many reasons but won't go
into the details.  The bottom line is that ADA does not allow me to do anything
that I can't do easily with my current language of choice.  (Except write
programs to sell to the DOD) If ADA does not allow me to do anthing that I want
to do and can't do with my current lingo choice then why put up with it?
Just to humor the DOD?
