Dare I say it but Windows seems to be moving in the same direction as Linux for security. I find Linux file permissions somewhat irritating at times but then Windows, in a standalone - non server role, had little or no security in the past. On a positive note I have found nice stuff in the latest GPL GPS version such as hotlinks to declarations and bodies. Perhaps they were always there but their Tip of the Day pointed some out to me. Hopefully Adacore haved fixed the bug that occasionally prevented saving files using the "Save as" option. Though I suspect Windows 7 had a part in that problem. The same problem also showed up occasionally when trying to add files to a project. Paul
