(implied "NOT REALLY FULL Ada 95") compilers. Don't you think you ought to be a little more careful about what you're writing between the lines? Or should we start slinging mud about the IDE capabilities of GNAT on various platforms as somehow making it not a "real" Ada 95 compiler? Seems of simiar relevance and bogosity. How about lowering the BS level? Speaking for me. - Ed -- Ed Falis Thomson Software Products (617) 221-7341
