I guess that the keyword is "trying".
Actually, a company that wishes go from procedural to object-oriented, should be careful, to *not* retain the syntax. (And thus, those who are using Ada83 without an object-oriented view, should switch to C++ or Eiffel.) Why, I leave as an excercise to the reader to find out.
