Is : there an equivalent in Ada of the "system()" function in C that : allows you execute an external program? Take a look at the Posix Ada bindings -- likely provided by your compiler vendor. The Posix Ada bindings are a standardized binding definition to Posix/Unix services. Personally, I find the Posix bindings much nicer to use than using pragma Interface to the C library routines themselves. -- Bob Kitzberger Rational Software Corporation rlk@rational.com
