So I think you agree with you. Come now, don't tell me you haven't heard of GNAT? It runs on pretty near everything (UNIX, DOS, Wintel, even Mac). And you can download it for free. (Well, on a Mac you have to spend $99 to get Machten, a port of BSD Unix that runs as a Mac app, but then you get GNAT for free. And it does let you write standalone Mac apps in Ada.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Internet.Usenet.Put_Signature (Name => "John G.
