At the time of the graph i saw. I do suppose that this sort of project - that is, the Rah-66 as a modular, versatile and extensible system - it is obviously ideal for what I little I understand of Ada. I do gather that Ada was tailored to suit large-scale systems design and the modularity of the language (what I am calling object oriented stuff and packages, etc. for lack of better understanding) is obviously perfect for extensibility. >From what I can gather from the documentation, the rah66 is designed such that it will be able to assimilate and incorporate maturing and new technologies when and if they arise. A flexible system would obviously help there... Novalogic ::= I play the 3 version but the 4 version is coming out now. They have (apparently) improved the Voxelspace technology for more fluid and realistic environment and physics. I was even trying to download the Armored Fist 3 version but once I tried to install it I found that 166 Mhz don't do the deed for the program - I needed a 233 and 64 meg RAM, where I only have 32 - you would think people might mention such things in their download pages, before I proceed with a marathon international 27 megabytes over a standard modem phone line download hassle thing. Bitch of a thing coz I can not get the new versions of the game. *sigh* All of which has just about sfa to do with ada... :-) G
