Message-ID: <23646.8906051756@daphne.cs.hull.ac.uk> Date: 5 Jun 89 17:56:36 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 17 Dear all, Can anyone help to settle an (admittedly somewhat frivolous) argument between a friend and myself! The question is why was "LINDA" so named? Does it have anything to do with "ADA"? Thanks in anticipation. Chris Freeman. Computer design group. University of Hull. Hull.
