But when you are having problems interfacing to something that is designed to interface to C code, it is sometimes useful to perform this step. This verifies that you properly understand how to use the device in the first place, and that your hardware is operating correctly. If it turns out there's a problem with your hardware or device drivers, the vendor often will not believe you unless you can supply an example in C. Otherwise, you are liable to hear it blamed on Ada. -- T.E.D. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know. Learn what you don't.
