We often see the same thing here with respect to skilled C/C++ programmers trying to write C/C++ code with Ada syntax. It just doesn't work. Its one of those cases where if you really want to learn Ada, the best approach is to bite the bullet and sit down with the textbook and work through it from front to back. Since there are several books/tutorials available on-line at no cost, the only investment is one's time. Given the amount of flailing about that typically happens, I'd suspect that the up-front investment of time would pay off quickly. Sort of in the philosophy of Ada - catch the bugs early in the process... :-) MDC -- Marin David Condic Senior Software Engineer Pace Micro Technology Americas www.pacemicro.com Enabling the digital revolution e-Mail: marin.condic@pacemicro.com "Marc A.
