Summary: Not D, aDa!

Frank, if you want to write your programs in Ada, write them in Ada.
Don't try to re-write a C compiler to accept Ada programs.  In fact,
you should re-post this message in comp.lang.ada, I think you'd find a
more receptive audience there.  Since the name Ada has already been
used, and your language is sufficiently different from C to NOT name
it D, perhaps you could call it "DoD".  But that's been used, too,
hasn't it?
