A compiler is just a re-rewriter. It takes a set of bytes on entry and write a set of bytes as output. It would be *nice* to be able to do everything in Ada. But again we are very far from this goal for most projects. So I still think that it is not possible to do many projects without using third party libraries. In my case I have almost zero project meeting this goal! --=20 Pascal Obry / Magny Les Hameaux (78) The best way to travel is by means of imagination http://v2p.fr.eu.org http://www.obry.net gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key F949BD3B
