A couple of people have had the gall to use a national tragedy (the SCUD that slipped through the Patriot defenses and hit the barrack) as a means to attack Ada in e-mail correspondence with me. Ignoring both the crassness and speciousness of this attack, I would like to point out that the Patriot system is actually programmed in FORTRAN and assembly. Furthermore, the problem was traced to a hardware glitch. -- **************** JIM SHOWALTER, jls@netcom.com, (408) 243-0630 **************** *Proven solutions to software problems.
