How big and how old is Milan CLUP? Oklahoma State University has many books on Ada, probably almost as many as on C, but a lot of them date back to Ada 83. (We do have Ada for the C++ programmer, and a few other Ada 95 books.) I don't think we have anything on C# or Delphi. Of course, we have many rows of computer books. But even Northwestern Oklahoma State (maybe a couple thousand students?) had a few books on Ada 83. I haven't been there in a while, but I would be surprised to find many C# or Delphi books; the library's budget for CompSci probably isn't that high. -- David Starner - dstarner98@aasaa.ofe.org Pointless website: http://dvdeug.dhis.org "I don't care if Bill personally has my name and reads my email and laughs at me.
