That's a lot of work someone will have to do to get it into the form of ARM sections. If the ARG receives only one such proposal, that will by default form the basis of the standard library. The best thing for Ada would be for people to prepare such proposals. With multiple proposals we are more likely to get a decent standard library. Debating societies such as we have seen here have yet to accomplish anything useful. -- Jeff Carter "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" Monty Python's Flying Circus
