There are two issues here. First, support for bignums: there are some package around, and it isn't too hard to hack something. The second issue is efficiency. I seem to recall that GMP is highly optimized, uses assembly language etc. So one may actually want or hope for a binding to GMP. I don't know a thing about it, but I did find this web page http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~mroe/Ada/GMP/. Maybe someone knows more about the current status of this. HTH Ehud Lamm
