We have tried evrything (having projects that lasts for 10 or more years) and the only two things that survives for a while is Ada-code provided that ther is a consistent set of libraries and while on the same platform the native shell which in the Win32 case happend to be ".bat" files or on AIX korrn-shell. This means that we are looking more and more on Ada as long term "scripting" language. /Per Sandberg
