I sometimes translate Spanish to English and vice versa. I always use one or more auto-tranlating programs first. The output is totally unacceptable (see sig for a _mild_ example) but it gets me to the final result faster than if I did the first pass myself. I expect similar from a C/C++/Java to Ada translator. -- Wes Groleau The Invisible Idiot http://freepages.computers.rootsweb.com/~wgroleau/idiot.html
