It is not based on actual experience with either language -- only the reading of the "official" books describing them and some discussion with users. I am willing to mail a copy to anyone who is interested, or post it if the interest is really high. It is about 8 pages in length. By the way, I do not agree that C++ and Ada are all that similar, but they do have some major features in common. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Leonard Vanek phone (416) 475-0525 Geac Computers International 350 Steelcase Rd.
