I mean, that's what you'd be doing as I am learning Ada at the moment. As to the comment by Jonh English (respect) yes, I know where your office is, but you are quite busy and not always in. Also, I know that you must be an accomplished Ada programmer in order to teach the subject, but if your book is anything to go by, you have little understanding on how to pass on your obviously extensive knowledge to the complete beginner, especially one who may not be quite as bright as others in HND1. Please understand that I'm not trying to slam your book, rather I'm trying to justify why I didn't come to you for help and asked here instead. However, it has occurred to me now that I should have come to see you first and then asked here. Apologies, Jonathan Baker, Brighton University, UK. (J.M.Baker@bton.ac.uk)
