AdaPower is also the best place for a newbie to start looking around for info, so it's probably a good reference in general. It would be nice to have a bit more info in the FAQ with some of the more common programming related questions. (e.g. "how do I make integers into strings?" or "how do I output numbers using Text_IO?") Obviously, the condition is only temporary. Sooner or later the sun burns out and everything on Earth freezes solid, or expands in size and burns the Earth to a cinder, so its all temporary. So remind me again why I bother to go to work every day? :-) MDC -- Marin David Condic Senior Software Engineer Pace Micro Technology Americas www.pacemicro.com Enabling the digital revolution e-Mail: marin.condic@pacemicro.com Web: http://www.mcondic.com/ "Ted Dennison" wrote in message news:cRvk6.101$aw5.317@www.newsranger.com... > That is the best place to start looking for general Ada info.
