Mea Culpa. Guilty twit. Grade A :stupid. Whatever else you want to call me. ;-) Grovelling apology accepted but I would have more respect for you if it were as public as your allegation. and publicly: :While it is true that early in the "Real OO" thread I thought you were :a simple troller (for some very good reasons which we need not bring :up) I definitely changed my mind about this. In fact, I have come to :see you as clearly contributing worth while stuff to the net. One of :the few... Well, the stuff that's not founded in ignorance, at least. :( BTW, I'm done with throwing rocks at other people's languages. It's not helpful to criticise other people's efforts. In the case of Ada, I have a better appreciation of why it was designed the way it was and think the Ada95 designers were faced with a difficult task in having as their starting point an existing language which supported a different paridigm. If Ada were designed from scratch today, it would look quite different, IMO. Don. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Don Harrison donh@syd.csa.com.au
