Hi,
if writing an Ada-Compiler is that much of a problem, then,
how difficult is it to write an Ada95-Interpreter ?
I think of something one can plug into the code as a call to 
the interpreter, where the interpeter knows anything about the 
variables and objects defined at the calling-point of the 
interpreter and is able to call all functions etc. that are accessible at
the calling point. So one could do 'on the fly'-development of programs
(e.g. provide a frame for the program which is linked with all necessary 
libraries and then write the code that is needed while the program is 
running.). O.k., maybe that is an illusion. But a nice one.
Bye and have a nice day, Ruediger
