You need to convince people what would be the advantage of switching to Ada. One mean (perhaps the only one, in absence of any hype or buzz effect) is to invest some time making a program in Ada that is working a lot better (faster, more reliable, user-friendly) than an existing one, and show it around. And that not for the fun of doing it in Ada, but because in the end it can deliver results to the company and it has a better software to use/sell. ______________________________________________________________ Gautier's Ada programming -- http://gautiersblog.blogspot.com/ NB: follow the above link for a working e-mail address
