Another example: are there any vendors out there who've tried to go after . a piece of the Fortran-oriented market by mapping its multidimensional . constrained arrays in column-major form? The LRM allows any old storage . mapping. Teachers like me explain this seeming gaffe by pointing out that . a compiler oriented at the Fortran crowd _could_ use column-major . storage to interface with old Fortran codes, Boy and do I have a pant-load of well-test old Fortran codes I would like to reuse ala "plug and play". But nooooooo, array mapping is not compatible. So I have to lift the hood and thus am forced to translate this stuff to Ada for no other reason... I really like writing Ada, but I do not like figuring out someone else's Fortran just so I can translate it to Ada... Regards, Mikey --- . MR/2 1.52 #63 . In God we trust; all others pay cash.
