I have been watching this from lurking distance, and it seems to me that you are all missing the point. You want a GUI interface to Ada. So the first thing to define is that interface.

I consider that a database interface is a different feathered horse. -- Chuck F (cbfalconer@yahoo.com) (cbfalconer@worldnet.att.net) Available for consulting/temporary embedded and systems.
