Then the compiler catches everything at compile time. R. Tim Coslet --------- That's what ABET (Ada based Environment for Test) did. It will "soon" be an IEEE standard. It is interesting reading. There are units that I never knew existed. The bad news: The ABET committee is not connected to internet although many individual members are. Also the IEEE copyrights their standards and it is probably illegal for me to e-mail or post a copy. I don't know how they will handle the use of the Ada packages when they are copyrighted. Maybe they will allow there use with credit to IEEE or something like that. It all seems bizarre to me and makes me embarassed to be a card carrying IEEE member. Maybe they are also embarassed by me being a member :-) sam harbaugh SAHARBAUGH@ROO.FIT.EDU ---
