In such languages, this is not necessarily bad design. No, but either moving code automatically or not, one ought to redesign in Ada in order not to get into this problem with withing. I find it an odd approache to change the language you are moving code *to* in order to fit features in the language one is moving the *code* from! The code should change not the language. Preben Randhol -- Please, stop bombing civilians in Afghanistan. One cannot write off killing innocent children and other civilians as "collateral damage". A civilian is a civilian whether he or she is American or from another country in the world. http://web.amnesty.org/11september.htm
