The PowerPC seems to have the most support from almost every Ada vendor these days. It has pretty much taken the place of the 68K as the premier 32-bit CPU family for embedded development. That seems to be true whether you are programming in C, C++, or Ada. > Mike -- -Tucker Taft stt@averstar.com http://www.averstar.com/~stt/ Technical Director, Distributed IT Solutions (www.averstar.com/tools) AverStar (formerly Intermetrics, Inc.)
