I have heard (assuming it's true, it could be important in this discussion)
that very little is actually being written in Ada because, if the software
currently exists in another language, DoD will allow an exception.  That
just about covers any project you can imagine.  How often do you write a
program and start with an empty file?

BTW, What's wrong with the "d" key?  Some of you posters are including
100% of the original text, I've already read it!
