No, don't know eclipse yet, I knew C and C++ and a few others from many 
years ago but i not done any kind of programing in quite some time.  I heard 
of ada some time ago but it was kinda hard to get more information.  Now I 
have some old books and a new one and I have some time on my hands so I 
thought it would be a good thing to look into it.  Though it was (most 
likely) not the best move I got the new windows and now I have some troubles 
<sigh> but thanks for the information!  Glad to have someone willing to help 
out, kinda hard to find now a days.
thanks again
