[GAP] Emails re John Barnes's book

[Rich Brozovic]

Kathy,

 

I did exactly as you suggested - yesterday (or was it Monday?) -- I've
seen so many "me too" messages!  I can't believe so many are so lazy or
thoughtless to simply reply to the listserv.  Thanks for stating the
obvious for those that aren't thinking too clearly!

 

By the way...

 

I was at the USAF's grad school when the "Green" language, eventually
named Ada, was released without compilers.  My Master's Thesis was a
source-to-source translator to allow programmers to write Ada code on a
Dec System 10 and convert it to JOVIAL-J73 to run it.  It was intended
to be a training tool until compilers were available.  My product didn't
mature in the time I was alloted to work on it and someone else
continued my work in the early 80s.  I then worked on another
source-to-source project involving Ada with the USAF in the early to
mid-80s.  I got reinvolved with Ada a couple of years ago when I assumed
responsibility for our senior-level "languages" pre-compiler course and
am attempting to reintroduce Ada at the undergrad level.
