It's not much, and it's not using the language to its full potential, but it's all I have at the moment. Sigh. On the bright side, an Ada program I wrote for my last company is still chugging away (it was a database specification compiler, and I just *happened* to have a bunch of compiler writing Ada components on hand). At least, they haven't taken advantage of my "Free Support for One Year" offer yet. cheers, Fraser.
