I've been trying to understand how dynamic dispatching works in Ada95, particularly the syntax required - ie. when and where you need the class wide types. I'm not going to explain my problem here - my problem really is "how do you do it?". I'm more familiar with the C++ method of virtual functions. Unless someone wants to explain and perhaps give a concrete example in C++ and it's equivalent Ada95 :-), a helpful push in the direction of a book, paper or website describing such a beast would be most appreciated. -- Some me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast, Steve Folly http://www.follysplace.demon.co.uk donationsto:myaccount@mybank.co.uk
