(:-)) Well you don't have to worry about 8-letters and converting the file names takes max 5 minutes on a user friendly OS. >> Besides don't you get the with-ing problem with .ada? > > Why? It worked with Ada 83, why shouldn't it with Ada 95. I don't know how the .ada works, but sometimes you have to with in the .adb and not the .ads to avoid circular dependance. But I guess you can put the withs after the spec and the compiler will recognice this? Anyway I still think it is clearer to have the .ads files for looking at what a package provides. Besides you should also put your documentation here that has to do with the usage of the procedures/functions. As to big systems, do the packages become huge too or is it only that there a lot of them? Preben
