[comp.lang.ada] PIWG distribution information

Chuck,

Are you in luck!  Just received this week the July 19, 1989 issue of Ada
SLICES (the newsletter of PIWG).  (Contact Herb Long, newsletter editor, at
MITRE (!) Houston, 713-335-8541) to get on the mailing list.

In it, they announced that the December 1988 release of the PIWG Test Suite
is targeted for SOMETIME in 1989.  So they're calling it PIWG X9 (where X
presumably is the month - it may have to be PIWG XX9 pretty soon).  The
article identifies Jon Squire (jsquire@ajpo.sei.cmu.edu, 301-765-3748) as
the point of contact performing the development.

The distribution is handled by Rob Spray (attctc.dallas.tx.us!escort!spray,
214-907-6640).

I do know that Dan Roy (Ford Aerospace, 7375 Executive Pl, # 400, Seabrook,
MD 20706, 301-805-0464), the PIWG Chair, has given a number of presentations
in the past six months at various SIGAda events (both DC and National) with
what appeared to have been results not derived from the December 1987 suite,
or at least not being distributed to the PIWG members yet, so it is quite
likely that either some additional data or suite exists that is not being
distributed.
