My eyes have been aging faster in recent years. I just submitted the article. The web master at the site does formatting, including font sizes. I suggest you email the web master about the font problem. I suspect he/she (I don't know which) will try to improve the site as needed. I do plan to write some more articles. Right now I am laying the ground work for an article on common patterns for protected objects. I plan to present the subject as patterns for monitors used for thread communication. All my examples will be Ada protected objects. I considered providing some Java examples also, but realized that some of the patterns vary from very nasty to impossible in Java. I will keep the examples simple by keeping them entirely in Ada. Jim Rogers
