All of a sudden i had the realisation that i didn't have a clue as to what they are. So what are rep clauses? Are there any good books on Ada that cover stuff like direct_io, rep clauses and low level stuff. Most of the books i've got cover ADT/OOP programming and are meant as an introduction to Ada. I'm skint now but the books don't need to be cheap -- but i'd prefer it if they were. Chris Campbell
