GLIDE combined with CLAW and GNATCOM at the time would have given you the IDE (GLIDE), the GUI (CLAW) and the leverage of all of MS's latest technologies (GNATCOM), and would have offered you just as much (BTW, as a _very_ long term developer of MFC apps, you quickly have to throw out the generated code to get most things done on large projects :-). There are additional solutions available (and up and coming) now, so on your next project, I wouldn't back down from Ada :-) David Botton "Marin D.
