Certainly if you find AdaGIDE to be perfect (or at least Great), you will never like Emacs. To each his/her own! I must point out that there is _no_ way to "add packages" to AdaGIDE, so you seem to be somewhat inconsistent here. In the same vein, it is very difficult for me to write a new package for MSVS, whereas I can easily (and have) write new packages for Emacs. Open Source rules! -- -- Stephe
