    Dear all,

    Many innocent persons were convicted and imprisoned because of buggy=20 software by ICL. Cf. HTTPS://WWW.Private-Eye.co.UK/pictures/special_reports/justice-lost-in-the-= post.pdf

    Fujitsu or ICL uses C++; C; COBOL; Fortran; and Visual BASIC.

    Regards.

    Was it written in Ada?

    _Extremely_ unlikely. And I don't say this because it might have been
    less buggy if written in Ada.
