It's interesting that the C++ bug that got me to try Ada wouldn't have been fixed by Ada - I was trying to deallocate an item on the stack. But I never would have made it in Ada; I never would have been messing with pointers in the first place, and I never would have mixed up getting a pointer to an item with dereferencing an item in Ada. -- 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.
