And if you write standard Ada code you can also write once and run anywhere. (At least anywhere in the USA.) Sure you need to compile for each platform, but that's no big problem as long as the same source code works on all platforms. "Write once, run anywhere" is new only if Java replaces C or Visual Basic or some other vendor-specific language. I think that may be one reason why the market for Ada to JVM compilers is so small. -- Bj�rn Persson PGP key A88682FD omb jor ers @sv ge. r o.b n.p son eri nu
