I believe this refers to me. This looks like a gratuitous personal insult, but as you've pointed out I sometimes have problems understanding what you write.

I made no comment about syntax. If you're talking about the VAX instruction set, you're not saying anything particularly relevant to Ada. You originally mentioned this in the context of the Ada standard, implying that the VAX Ada compiler(s) violated the Ada standard by implementing language extensions. Please clarify. It might be helpful if you would re-phrase your comments rather than repeating them. Concrete examples would be especially helpful. I've nearly lost hope that this thread will lead to anything useful, but I'm prepared to be pleasantly surprised. -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) kst@cts.com San Diego Supercomputer Center <*> Welcome to the last year of the 20th century.
