Hi Dave, Speaking of Ada, I developed the MS-Windows AMDS ( https://peoiewswebinfo.monmouth.army.mil/portal_sites/IEWS_Public/rus//AMDS.htm ) for the I-REMBASS Battlefield Sensor System in Ada for the U.S. Army due to requirements (Ada is a very good large embedded systems language, it is very much PASCAL like ) to use Ada, but the compilers were never great. When I wrote Sight It! LOS ( http://www.n2ckh.com/SI/sight_it.htm ) for the hobby based on all I had to learn to do AMDS and showed it off to my employer and Army bosses, AMDS went from ADA to C++ pretty darn fast, which did not bother me at all. Years later when I stated working in the ASIC/FPGA world along comes VHDL which is based on Ada, I was glad that those 5 years up time January 2005 were just spend selling the ModelSim/FPGA Advantage and other VHDL CAD tools and not actually doing development in VHDL (or Verilog) which are both facing stiff C++ competition these days.
PC-ALE and MARS-ALE are both MS C++/MFC developed tools. /s/ Steve, N2CKH At 11:50 AM 8/31/2006, you wrote: >Re "Dr. Hopper is also know for her work on "Flow-Matic" business >language, COBOL and Ada. > > >>>I met Grace Hopper when we (Rational Software) validated the first >Ada compiler in the early 80s.
