What OS's ? As far as I know, the PC was a Windoze machine using the AdaGide compiler. The Unix machine is - according to the login screen results - first Unix System V Release 4.0 before I login, then changes to SunOS 5.5.1 after login. And we use the gnat extension (addon? not sure exactly what to call it) version 3.10p on it. > The only case I would see where an Ada program would compile on one system > and not on the other is if it used some packages that one compiler has as > part of its standard installation, and another did not.

And I'm told that the programming assignments haven't changed for quite a few years. There was one locally modified package, but we were explicitly told about that one and exactly how to deal with it. -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | "Where do you want to go today?"
