This is the argument many C programmers use against Ada. Those that really understand C AND never make mistakes write working programs. The rest spend their lives debugging. If an Ada programmer takes this attitude, he'd better _really_ understand Ada--well enough to not misunderstand whatever non-intuitive construct slipped past the language designers. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wes Groleau, Hughes Defense Communications, Fort Wayne, IN USA Senior Software Engineer - AFATDS Tool-smith Wanna-be wwgrol AT pseserv3.fw.hac.com Don't send advertisements to this domain unless asked!
