Given the tendency of Ada vendors to ship windowy readers for LRM these days, I suspect that few people will ever use this program. I am no longer employed by Norfolk State. I submitted this program to SIMTEL in 1988, and have not modified it since. Your report surprises me, because I thought I tested this sort of stuff back in 1988. I can test under a VADS 6.1 compiler, to see if I can duplicate your problem. However, I do not have an Ada compiler for an MS-DOS machine, or an MS-DOS machine usable for programming. If this problem is specific to MS-DOS, I don't have the resources to do anything about it. -- ------ Esther Lumsdon Product Support Engineer, Verdix Corporation 205 Van Buren St Herndon, Virginia, USA esther@verdix.com or esther%verdix.com@uunet.uu.net
