They are not accustomed to the kind of disasters C creates and may not see them in the code. A direct translation to Ada will reveal some bugs at compile time. And the developers are looking at a language they can read when they fix those bugs. Other bugs will appear as the developers improve things in the process of working on the code. -- Wes Groleau http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~wgroleau
