Sorry, but most likely you did not understand the logic of my answer to Jeffrey. He claimed that I did not write any multithreading C or C++ program, presumably because the C and C++ standards say nothing about threads. For me this kind of argument is just a handwaving and to show this I replied with the same logic that nobody did in Ada, for the simple reason that AARM says nothing about it. It is *obvious* for me that Ada, C and C++ (and some other languages - but not all of them) can be used to write any kind software. I apologize if my ironical answer to Jeffrey was misunderstood. Still, I promise that I will answer like that next time as well. ;-) -- Maciej Sobczak * www.msobczak.com * www.inspirel.com
