A lot of the lower-level stuff that C++ needs an STL for (eg: decent strings) *is* actually in the standard. Familiarize yourself the packages in Annex A of the LRM ( http://www.ada-auth.org/~acats/arm-html/RM-TOC.html ) before you go any further. As for the higher-level data structures, there are several competing packages (just like the C++ STL has competing packages). The one I tend to lean on is the Booch Components, but others have their own favorites. The Ada95 Booch Components are available at http://www.adapower.com/booch/index.html --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
