This was pretty early in the game, back when he talked about underlining nouns and verbs and before the "revised standard" was out... I also sat through a class with David Bullman, who diverged at one point into a discussion of software engineering and object oriented design, and techniques and how to approach the problem, etc.... In short; on Ada-Think. He spent an hour or so on it, and realizing that that was not what he was being paid to teach, quickly went back to teaching Ada. I think Dave could have spent a week teaching "Ada-Think" and software engineering, etc.... and I would have really enjoyed it. I think he has an even better handle on the "object oriented design" issue now and could spend some time talking about that as well.. Are you out there Dave? How about it? --Emmett BlackJE@GE-CRD.Arpa ...!steinmetz!crd!blackje
