Outside of C/C++, there are a : few commercial Pascal extensions, a few Modula-2's, a Modula-3, maybe : Eiffel soon, etc. As for workstation (AIX) <--> OS/2 portability, : there are only a few options, and Ada may well be the best of them. There are some compilers in addition to the C/C++ and Pascal/Modula-x :-). After a quick look in the Indelible-Blue catalog, I found: IBM VisualAge Cobol, IBM VisualAge Smalltalk, PL/1, APL2, Fortran 77, CA-Realizer and of course several REXX implementations. If you make GUI programs, I think VisualAge Smalltalk gives you best portability between OS/2 and AIX (and Windows) for the moment. Of course I would like to see faster releases of GNAT for OS/2 as well :-). -- +-------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | Tore B.
