If you go to a newsgroup on Ada and (effectively) ask the residents to provide you with evidence that they are foolish you can't expect a totally happy response! Did your boss really say (in paraphrase) "Find me evidence that Ada is too complex"? sounds very closed-minded to me! Can't see why one would want such except to compare with other languages, in which case see Robert Dewar's remarks. -- Simon Wright Work Email: simon.j.wright@gecm.com GEC-Marconi Radar & Defence Systems Voice: +44(0)1705-701778 Command & Information Systems Division FAX: +44(0)1705-701800
