Certainly. However, I still feel safer with strings in Ada. ^^^^^ My hope is that Ada.Strings.Bounded will turn out to ease the tedium of strings in Ada95. But tedium I can adjust to; runaway string pointers and string functions that make me nervous (e.g., I can NEVER remember which is the copy-to parameter and which is copy-from parameter in strcpy) are another matter. -- James Squire mailto:ja_squire@csehp3.mdc.com MDA Avionics Tools & Processes McDonnell Douglas Aerospace http://www.mdc.com/ Opinions expressed here are my own and NOT my company's "Nice shark...pretty shark..." -- Londo, "The Gathering"
