Without going into it much, we'll just leave it at that. And speaking of Java/C++/Ada. I have been working on a messaging system that has a direct analog in a Java front-end client to the C++/Ada backend. All the code is essentially the same for every language. I coded the Java system and the C++ backend system initially. I have finally fully converted the C++ backend to Ada. Looking back on the process, surprisingly Ada WOULD have been the easiest if I had actually known Ada... Thanks for the advice these past few weeks -- Shaun
