The conversion was added to help people move code from Un*x to DOS. I do _not_ think the file is automatically updated (i.e. stored). It certainly shouldn;t be, until you close the window, in which case AdaCAPS should ask for confirmation before rewriting the file. If AdaCAPS is _really_ modifying a file and changing a timestamp without your permission, that's a bug that needs to be corrected. Please try this and let me know. I will try it too when I have my PC handy. It is true that changing the timestamp on an interface file from the runtime is a bad idea. OTOH, I'm not aware of any bodies that are not provided. It's best not to touch (in any sense of the word.:-)) anything in the runtime. Mike Feldman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael B.
