I'm still newbie to Ada and it will be a good exercise to get know Ada better. And it will be a great pleasure to drop some Ada program to people. Maybe a CD-player? There are some nice CD-Players for linux, but there was always something missing. So I have intention to write one and share with it. I hope I succeed... :) -Mike ------------------------ Mike Nowak mailto: vinnie@inetia.pl
