Most likely the easiest path is to bind to the C client API, if the pure-Ad= a API does not exist. > 2 could u replace scyla with somethign better coded in ada? What do you mean by "better coded"? Is this product badly coded, currently?= Or, if you think that the product would benefit from better coding (presum= ably in the context of some bug, which is a local problem), would it be pos= sible to code it better in the existing language (presumably by fixing the = local bug)? And, lastly, why would anybody replace an existing (and apparently very goo= d) product with another one? It's much better to spend your effort creating= something new instead. --=20 Maciej Sobczak * http://www.inspirel.com
