AdaIC News Winter 1996-1997

How are you using Ada?
And how are you reusing it?
We need your help in identifying who is using Ada 95 either to develop new systems or to reengineer systems that have been developed in other languages. We are tracking this information for two primary reasons:

Data collected by means of this survey will be available to you for browsing on the AdaIC World Wide Web site (http://archive.adaic.com/projects/). In addition, we are supplying this data to the National Software Data and Information Repository (NSDIR) for inclusion in their comprehensive database of software-development projects.

Please take a few minutes to complete the enclosed survey, and return it to the AdaIC at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your assistance!
