Thank You Mr.Stephen 
	I just connected an external device connected to serial port
	to read temprature. I wrote a small program (20 lines)in QBASIC
	to read the input. I have a student version of ObjectADA for win95
	therefor I jsut wanted to convert this QBASIC progarm to ADA under 
	win95.

anyway thankyou again for your advice.
