It doesn't even make the standard-conforming mode the default mode. To be fair, the issue in question is a rather minor one in Gnat's case. But still, if they can do that successfully, nothing's stopping anyone else from making a "turbo-Ada" with an extension-disabled mode. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
