For moving from Ada 83 to Ada 95 read the Ada Compatbility Guide: http://unicoi.kennesaw.edu/ase/ase02_01/docs/compat/compat-guide6-0.pdf We are still migrating more than 3 mio loc of Ada 83 code (OpenVMS, DecAda) to GNAT (OpenVMS). For such a large application it is really hard work. The Source has to work for some time on both compilers. The interersting point is, that we have found to all "source-code" problems solutions without using tools like gnatprep. If it is a valuable piece of software, i would expect, that you have a support contract with ACT. They will assist you. Volkert
