Ada95 _might_ be for you! It's been said before, but it deserves to be said again: there is no such language as "C/C++". There are two separate languages, C and C++, which in many respects are as different as night and day. This is especially true in the context of Ada -- for C has almost nothing in common with Ada, while C++ has a good deal in common with Ada. This lumping together is especially frustrating in things like Greg Aharonian's (or anybody's) language usage analyses, because there's a real question as to how much C++ is actually being used out there. -- Jonathan Schilling Novell, UNIX Systems Group jls@summit.novell.com
