That is the essence of the point! Yes you can turn off _all_ of the extra checks of Ada if you want to or need to per final delivery requirements. This VIOLATES NOTHING WHATSOEVER! Ada only gives you a transparent non-obtursive capability to leave checks in if you can afford them. If you can't so what - no Ada Thought Police are going to throw you in jail! Test early and at a low level - turn off checks if you have to per the final delivery resource requirements. _____________________________________________________________________ Robert S.
