And your reply to my posting is just as articulate as this reply by the "First Ones" ;-) My point was that the person from Rational was implying that Rational Ada (which is part of APEX) = VADS, and I was contesting that. Does that make it more clear? On the other hand I may be the one that is confused, I don't know. You see, to me Rational Ada is the one in APEX, and VADS is a separate development environment apart from APEX and I still assume that it is a different compiler. However, I'm beginning to think that when the original poster asked about Rational Ada, he may have meant VADS. If so, then maybe I should just mind my own business ;-) -- James Squire mailto:jsquire@mdc.com MDA Avionics Tools & Processes McDonnell Douglas Aerospace http://www.mdc.com/ Opinions expressed here are my own and NOT my company's "On Narn, we heard the decision to surrender came from your holy men.
