There is nothing in the Ada standard that prescribes the actual appearence of input or output characters, so in fact the encoding does not have to be "right" to have a conforming compiler. There must be an external representation for every Latin-1 character, but what this external representation might look like is not part of the standard. -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
