I know this is a bit of an open ended question... (no "how long is a piece of string" related answers please) I'm using tasks in my application. Does this add extra code into the binary to ensure time slicing?. I was just wondering where all the bloat is coming from. On a separate issue... I have found an IDE called GPS (GNAT Programming System) Is this considered the 'thing to use' or are you all writing your ADA in emacs (or equivalent)? (No flames Please ;) ) Thanks for your responses -- Simon Lewis Can you believe this, Marge? They're paying me to eat! -- Homer Simpson
