- I would have prefered to have responded to your article by email, but you don't

- If you're saying this kind of thing about Ada, why do you bother reading/writing
- to comp.lang.ada?
- For your information, of the 3 or 4 Ada compilers I have used,
- the DEC one is the only one where the main program is in C, and, if I guess right,
- the reason for that design choice by DEC is so that they can use 'ld' to load and
- bind the executables - why re-invent the wheel?
