Well I still know many people who use Ada, and will be using Ada for a number of years to come but who have absolutely no Internet access at all, so I can see a much larger audience for such a book than just those who read this newsgroup. By your reasoning, it's a wonder why John Barnes, Norman Cohen et al bothered to write their books. Personally I think it would be a brilliant idea for such a book to be written. I would certainly buy it. -- Best Regards John McCabe ===================================================================== Any opinions expressed are mine and based on my own experience.
