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 but thanks for the information! Glad to have someone willing to help out, kinda hard to find now a days. thanks again Randy
