Should the package : specification filename end with a .ads and the body a .adb? This is not standardized across Ada compilers. Here are some conventions that different compilers use: GNAT spec = *.ads, body = *.adb Rational spec = *.1.ada, body = *.2.ada VADS spec = *_.a, body = *.a Aonix any of the above are OK; another is: spec = *.spc, body = *.bdy Green Hills Given the easy availability of GNAT, I suspect that *.ads/*.adb is the most widely used convention at this point. : ... I can't find that information : in the book Ada 95... by Feldman. It's not standardized at the language level. Probably *.ads/*.adb is the safest choice these days. : Thanks, : Ren -- -Tucker Taft stt@inmet.com http://www.inmet.com/~stt/ Intermetrics, Inc. Burlington, MA USA An AverStar Company
