I have looked in : Ada as a second Language The Lovelace tutorial Ada95 Third Edition. I have(as yet) been unable to find what I am looking for, does Ada have a method/package available to interface with the shell? Or is it just that I have missed something relevant in one of the above books and should just import the C pragma (something I am trying to avoid). What I am wanting to do is something a little "perl-esque", exec(program, argument); any thoughts? Thanks for all of the help, Having used this list in the past I know that I am likely to get a helpful response (the kernel module does just about work). many thanks, Mark www.vulndev.org
