This raises a question -- are there any C to Ada translation programs. We (SDMS Inc. CCA is just the machine that we use for Vax BSD work) have a product that sells into people who sell into DoD. My opinion of Ada is not germane; at some point we are going to have to come to terms with Ada and we may have to deal with the prospect of converting to Ada for some markets. I expect that other software vendors are in the same boat. Does such a package exist? Are there rumors that somebody is doing it? Any information on the possibility would be of interest. -- In the fields of Hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die. Richard Harter, SMDS Inc.
