And it is by a >very competent teacher. Thanks for the link to this book. Have just overflown it and found a few things which would have answered some of my earlier questions. Very condensed but better than reading tenth of pages and not finding what I actually want to know. The actual question is more curiosity than a problem. I would prefer to have an evening course in Ada but unfortunately none is offered in my region. I have the choice between VBA or Java. Tried the Java one but did't like it. Perhaps if I hadn't already tasted Ada before things would have been different. Thanks Laurent
