Math functions such as fft, ODE solvers, eigensystems for non-symmetric and= non-hermitian matrices ahould be made part of the language.=20 Interfaces to C, Fortran exist and so to associated IMSL libraries for exam= ple but work should really be done to elevate the status of Ada in the comp= utation world. Perhaps an interface to Matlab would be the turning point? Also, a graphing tool to plot simple x-y plots should be implemented in the= language. Best Regards, YC
