Get the list of what's missing. Analyze the compilation errors I assume you're getting, since the HP Ada Predefined Library won't exist on Windows. If you have a VMS system, the source to the STARLET package is in ADA$PREDEFINED:*.ADC. You then have a list of symbols and calls you need to provide somehow. Go VMS online documentation to see what the calls do; http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/. > You will have to rewrite your software to match the Windows operating > system. Good luck with ASTs. Right, discover what your Ada program needs from the VMS system calls. AST's may not be involved... Charlie
