All versions of ObjectAda support console apps (looks like DOS, smells like DOS, but runs in a 95/NT console window, not under DOS itself.) If you want to make actual DOS executables, you need to add the OpenPack, which enables you to easily turn the console app into a 32-bit DOS executable via a DOS extender. DOS packages are available as well for DOS-level access. They can be downloaded at no charge from our web site (as soon as we get FTP re-connected to it - these name changes can be most inconvenient.) BTW, there is no such thing as the "student version" of ObjectAda. There is, however, student pricing. > Larry Kilgallen > who thinks Aonix is a much worse name than Thomson Okay, then, we'll change it back. :) -- Dave Wood -- Product Manager, ObjectAda for Windows -- Aonix - "Ada with an Attitude" -- http://www.aonix.com
