That's pretty impractical advice, but the only advice I can give that would be even remotely on-topic in the Ada newsgroup you posted to. Perhaps you were hoping we'd all get incensed by your plight, and go out and rewrite Shockwave and scandisk and explorer in Ada for you? If that's the case, you should go check out http://www.adapower.com/lab/adaos.html (my apologies in advance to Nick Roberts et. al.) -- T.E.D. http://www.telepath.com/~dennison/Ted/TED.html Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
