With many, surely! My remark was not to `sell' Ada but to clarify
that DEC Ada is not incompatible with the standard - it covers
a large portion of what can be programmed...

Just curious:
 * Do you have also _one_ makefile ?
 * Is there no conditional defines in the source code files that make differences
   between the Windows NT/9x ,SG Irix, Solaris, Dec Unix, RS6000 and HP Unix
   platforms ?

I ask it because many resources (in C) on the Web claim to be portable
but in fact are only ported on many platforms, with conditional defines
that switch even basic type definitions, memory management etc.
e.g. Info-Zip stuff.
