The lack of tools can be quite off-putting at times, I must agree. My major problem with Ada is the lack of tools to create a Win95/98/NT program with a *native* Win95/98/NT GUI. I've yet to see a freeware tool that will allow me to create a menu system for my Ada applications (running on the Windows OS) that actually looks like an MS Windows system. - Gareth
