Hopefully, the trend will continue. It might. When I first encountered Ada in college, I hated it, partly because of a very bad compiler (a slow horror that tried to correct errors by inserting random tokens under VM/CMS). Now that I've had some experience with maintaining large programs hacked on by many people over the years, I start to appreciate a lot of the Ada philosophy. -- Lieven Marchand Gla�r ok reifr skyli gumna hverr, unz sinn b��r bana.
