Thanks Robert. As always, it is a matter of selecting the toolset most appropriate to the problem domain. In this case, I think CLAW is a good choice. Other students, more involved with Linux and other operating systems, will probably choose GtkAda. Also, I am trying to build a broader base of knowledge within our program so these students, once in the field, will be able to engage each other in intelligent discussion about the available choices. This means I want them to know about as many of those choices, in Ada, as I can without confusing them. Richard Riehle
