There are several commercial products that do this for C, and at least one, XVT, is considering an Ada binding. (XVT covers MS-Windows, MOTIF, vanilla X Windows, Character terminals, MacOS and some others that I forget right now. POC at XVT is Sue Smith, 303 545-3108). The IEEE chartered a group (IEEE P1201.1) to do this, but the group was unable to come to consensus. dave -- --The preceeding opinions do not necessarily reflect the opinions of --The MITRE Corporation or its sponsors. -- "A good plan violently executed -NOW- is better than a perfect plan -- next week" George Patton -- "Any damn fool can write a plan.
