Such a thing is impossible, since Ada is a concurrent language, and C++ is a sequential language, unless you want to translate the entire concurrency runtime and include calls to it. However, you could use an Ada compiler that produces C as its intermediate language (SofCheck has such a thing), since there is a C subset of C++. -- Jeff Carter "Now look, Col.
