(CORBA, anyone?) There are indeed real-time orbs written in Ada. However, if your vendor supports the Distributed Systems Annex, then programming with distributed objects is possible, directly in the language. For Ada-to-Ada IPC, you can't beat the DSA. -- Those who believe in the supernatural should be required to learn computer programming. This would force them to discover that things which appear at first to be completely mysterious and incomprehensible, in fact have a logical (and usually simple) explanation. --J.B.R. Yant
