The requirements are that it be crossplatform (Unix and Windows). It requires a GUI and the non-gui code needs to be fast (not Java). So, I'm not real sure what to use. I guess I'm now thinking about de-coupling the GUI altogether and making the backend "talk" to the frontend in the client/server model. That way I could develop the GUI with any number of "technologies" and the backend could be strictly Ada. How does A# hold up performance wise? A# recommended for scientific computing? Am I just not getting it? Andrew Carroll Carroll-Tech 720-273-6814 andrew@carroll-tech.net
