I was ignoring the people who didn't see the utility of a tool like lint as either non-c programmers, or people who have a MUCH better compile r toolset than I, but based on the number of direct replies I got, there is quite a market out there. How about it compiler vendors? The only third-party tool that responded needed POSIX and ASIS compliance. Either the compilers need to go this route so that third-p arty software can make Ada programmers lives less miserable, or provide toolsets tha t actually provided the functionality we need. Before the flames... I know ONE compiler/toolset that meets these criteria. If you are using it, you are quite lucky. I like their products, but I'm stuck with wh at we have, just like a many others. --- Jon R. Wilson Work: (205) 215-5477 Senior Computer Analyst Fax: (205) 215-5511 PRC, Inc. jwilson@mtgy.gtegsc.com
