Should I go for something pithy like "CAL" (Common Ada Library), or something more grandiose, such as "Cornerstone" or "Plinth"? Suggestions welcome. Current planned contents for the library: base and generic signature packages for iterators; (the ubiquitous) quicksort; a non-hashing indexed array-based store; a (more) memory-efficient balanced binary tree (AVL or RB?); a mondo humungous GUI etc. hierarchy. No doubt there will be just millions of other things suggested/requested. The whole thing will be machine/OS-independent and well documented. Every unit will be divided into specification and implementations (I'll write the specs first). ------------------------------------- Nick Roberts ------------------------------------- [DB: This is destined for AP if you approve.] *Wetware_Apparatus'(Neurons=>3, Synapses=>19, Pints_of_Ale=>23.0, Inspiration=>null ;-)
