And, as I imaagined above, I think we'll find that the dependencies _are_ freely available. It sometimes just takes a little digging. > Cheers, > Dirk > > _______________________________________________ > comp.lang.ada mailing list > comp.lang.ada@ada.eu.org > http://ada.eu.org/mailman/listinfo/comp.lang.ada >
