However, since many in the community that I respect have chosen to contribute, I feel more comfortable adding my humble observations. If I understand the meaning of the word "crap," it seems to be argot for something characterized by its fecal properties. Therfore, I can only assume that the designers of Ada 95, cognizant of those properties in C++, studiously eliminated them from the design of Ada. Consequently, my interpretation of the caption for this thread is that Ada is now free of the fecal matter that continues to reside in C++. :-) Richard Riehle adaworks@netcom.com richard@adaworks.com -- richard@adaworks.com AdaWorks Software Engineering Suite 27 2555 Park Boulevard Palo Alto, CA 94306 (415) 328-1815 FAX 328-1112
