If you think that's fun, try the reverse-engineering. It likes to make a single class out of each enumeration value. :-) Actually though, "1 class = (1 tagged type and 1 package)" is pretty much the model for Ada. You can combine multiple tagged types in a single package, but they should be *very* closely related if you do this (as their implementations can break each other's encapsulation). We used that tool about 3 product name changes and 2 owners ago. I hope you have better luck with it than we did. Perhaps its much improved by now. I wouldn't know. We couldn't get the previous version to install (even with our best engineers talking to their tech support). My suggestion would be to not bother with its code generation; just use it as a drafting tool. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
