Ada Core Technologies which provides support and development for GNAT Professional, the fully supported commercial Ada 95 compiler and tool suite, based on GNU/gcc technology. See www.gnat.com for details. Publicly available versions of these compilers are available for downloading, go to the FTP directories pub/gnat at cs.nyu.edu. Robert Dewar Ada Core Technologies P.S. The sources are of course also available, so you can have a look at them to understand what I mean by uniform style. P.P.S. I find it a very bad idea not to standardize on brackets placement in C/C++. It is a perfect example of an issue where there can be no advantage in inconsistency. If you really have programmers who would quit rather than follow shop standards on such minor details, they will be unmanageable on more major things, and it is good to find that out in advance. Notice that management here to me is far more than just A following the orders of B, it is figuring out how a team works together in a cooperative and effective manner. -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
