The reply came back that they could not, and furthermore they could not find any reference to the language in any of their wonderful multifarious databases. Two days later, they sent a written confirmation that they could not supply me with a compiler for the "Aider" language. Shucks. ------------------------------------- Nick Roberts -------------------------------------
