It should be no problem writting a driver/module in Ada - just follow all the normal rules for interfacing with C and remember you don't have the standard C or Ada libraries available to you. -- David Starner - dstarner98@aasaa.ofe.org Only a nerd would worry about wrong parentheses with square brackets.
