If so when did this happen? If not, does anybody the current status of the approval process? According to the law, C++ cannot be used by the DoD. Approved languages are Ada, C, Cobol, Fortran, Pascal and a few others. The complete list can be found in http://sw-eng.falls-church.va.us/AdaIC/pol-hist/policy/3405-1.txt. The Dod accepts only standardized languages, and wants its new software to be written in Ada, other approved languages are kept for maintenance only, so the DoD is very unlikely to ever use C++. -- Valery --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
