I would never comment on sombodies general spelling. Mine is bad enough. Only in this case it was the spelling of what we here call an "Eigenname". A name which starts in englich with a capital letter. Also, if you never read enough about Ada to know how it is spelled, how do you know enough about its features. Did you know about: type Month is new Integer range 1 .. 12; for Month'Size is 8; and how will you do it in C? Use an unsigned short int. Well an short int is usualy 16 bit not 8. Use an unsigned char? Well it is 8 bit - but is is a character not a number. If you are lucky you have real C99 compiler with byte. But byte is still 0 .. 255 wich is more the 20 times range needed. That means - in savety critical software - you have to "assert" the value before using it. With Regards Martin -- mailto://krischik@users.sourceforge.net http://www.ada.krischik.com
