The Ada-95 release does not cause older software to be made good.

But the newer compilers and other software tools they've developed
*can*.

Perhaps, but i have yet to see a compiler upgrade work without altering

the
sofware.


That's true, but the folks who have been working with the Ada-95 tools
noticed that it's easier to alter the software to run under Ada-95 than
it is to keep using the older Ada. Cheaper to maintain, faster to
develop.


As in the old software doesn't work.


No, as in "the old software worked, but they improved it and brought it
up to Ada-95 to make it easier to work with."

The low competence of Lockmart's avionics group is why they sold it to BAE
Systems.


Nope.

Let me clue you, the F-35 is tabbed to the Eurofighter.


That's an odd statement. "Tabbed to?" In common usage, that means
they're connected directly, but sine they aren't you must mean
something else.


Think real hard.


I think you wrote something deliberately vague, so you could pretend it
was profound. You failed.

Are you aware of BAE Systems?


Yes, they're making a lot of the ECM and other systems *hardware*
for the F-35. To be controlled by the software that LockMart is
developing for controlling the whole plane.


Bull****.


Not actually a refutation, there...
