The things you want done can be done in Ada no problemo. I would be happy to show you how, in detail, if you require. Furthermore, what you want could be done in Ada a lot better than in C++; again, I can explain this in detail as you require. I gather that garbage collection tends not be implemented by default by most Ada compilers. Fortunately, however, Ada 95 (the current standard) provides a way for the programmer to provide garbage collection in a relatively convenient way. -- Nick Roberts Croydon, UK Proprietor, ThoughtWing Software; Independent Software Development Consultant * Nick.Roberts@dial.pipex.com * Voicemail & Fax +44 181-405 1124 * *** Always game for a verbal joust (usually as the turkey) *** Shane Miller wrote in article at length about the suitability of Eiffel and Ada for a certain task.
