Dr Stift; Thanks for the input, very valuable and interesting. I would love to work in numerics using Ada, but the fact is that there is no work in this field. Unless one is doing reasearch in a univ. or such place. Ada could be the best language ever for doing numerical computation, but one can't find work with those skills. It seems Java is making more headways into numerical computations. There is much more interest in Java than Ada. Java now even is getting into real-time, an area which was reserved for languages like Ada and C. Just checked http://www.dice.com and this is the result Ada = 357 positions Java = 13,794 C /C++ = 23,422 Then I typed 'Ada numerical' and got ONE position. Then typed 'java numerical' and got 15 positions. Then typed 'C numerical' and got 64 positions. So, where are the jobs for someone who wants to do cool stuff like you are working on? where is Ada used for numerical work? Mike
