Tried to awswer two different threads with one post... If you are looking for a good Ada 83 compiler to write to simple x86 resource limited systems, try DDC Ada from Denmark (DDC-I in US). Compile on Unix or VMS and target to the x86 system. I know it works well. Engineers around here have been using it for avionics and other things for years. _______________________________________________________________________ Robert S.
