But still, the request is a bit vague which makes it difficult to point in the right direction. If it's "I want to look at how other people code in Ada" it may be one thing. If it's "I want a large body of Ada code to test my Ada parser against" that might be different. I can also see how it might be "I want to see lots of source code because I have an assignment to write a gazorenthorpe routine and I'll bet someone with a large project already did one of those..." But that's thinking along the lines of expecting the worst out of people. :-) MDC -- Marin David Condic Real Time & Embedded Systems, Propulsion Systems Analysis United Technologies, Pratt & Whitney, Large Military Engines M/S 731-95, P.O.B. 109600, West Palm Beach, FL, 33410-9600 ***To reply, remove "bogon" from the domain name.*** Visit my web page at: http://www.flipag.net/mcondic
