Time to learning basic ADA isn't the issue. Dump several 10s of thousands of lines of code in hundreds of source source files, all poorly documented of course since ADA is self-documenting, on any but the best memorizers & you end up with long delays in productivity. Add to that time to figure out emulators & debuggers for which manuals can't be found, long since carted off by a former project member. Now tell me finding good, quick-to-produce ADA coders, is easier than finding good C coders. -- <> Robert Geer & Donna Tomky | |||| We sure |||| <> <> bgeer@xmission.com | == == find it == == <> <> dtomky@xmission.com | == == enchanting == == <> <> Albuquerque, NM USA | |||| here! |||| <>
