It has been revealed to me that a GUI can be built using Visual Studio (C#) and then references to Ada Dll's can be placed into the C# code so that Ada can be used for the "real work". Impressive! I can't say that I would have ever thought of doing that. Then again, I'm not sure I'd want to?. Hmmm...was that in the docs? Anyway, I've never used Visual Studio .Net and I think the person who revealed it to me was in fact the author (or one of them) of A#. I'm pretty sure they have a better understanding of it that I. My point was that A. you can choose what you and the client "feel good about", B. The project may dictate what you choose and C. Due to popularity, hype, productivity and available documentation there may not be much of a choice. Andrew Carroll Carroll-Tech 720-273-6814 andrew@carroll-tech.net
