I have been waiting for this for long time. This should show the advantages of using Ada for scientific/numerical applications. If we can have the numerical recipes book in C,C++,Pascal, F77 and F90 for crying out loud, why can't we have it in Ada? (I do not know how anyone in their right mind would think that writing numerical applications in C or even C++ would be better/more robust than in Ada.... but I digress here) Nasser
