First, Objective-C is _not_ a "C/c++ compiler in the NeXTSTEP environment", it's a language unto itself (albeit a derivative of C, but looks nothing like C++). Second, a tool to translate from Ada 95 to C++ would take a herculean effort, and the result, like the result of all translated code, would be a horrible, unmaintainable mess. As for the "vice versa" part, the "C to Ada" translator can be found at http://www.inmet.com/~mg/c2ada/c2ada.html. I'm working on a C++ to Ada 95 translator myself, but it's low priority at the moment. -- Visit the Ada 95 Booch Components Homepage: www.ocsystems.com/booch This is not your father's Ada -- lglwww.epfl.ch/Ada
