Dear all,

Many innocent persons were convicted and imprisoned because of buggy
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.

an Irish idiot instead of engineers?
