I've taken Pascal, so am I allright, then? ^^^^^^^^^^ I would say that you're probably in good shape for learning Ada. Ada and Pascal source code looks much the same (a bit more words in Ada though :-),�but Ada includes both posibilities and limitations not known in Pascal. If you want a soft introduction to Ada, you should start out with the Lovelace tutorial (availiable at Ada Home ). |^^^^^^^^^^ | P.S. Is Ada some sort of military/nasa code or something? |__________ The old version of Ada (usually known as "Ada 83") was developed _for_ the Department of Defence, U.S.A. - The present version of Ada (sometimes called "Ada 95") was developed as an international standard. I suppose the answer to the question is; "it was!"
