I'm currently trying to get at some [complicated] functionality currently in Ada 83 on AIX and can see two routes forward at the moment... i) Compile it on AIX using the original compiler and call it [somehow :] across a network when required. ii) Compile it on NT using a 83/95 (?) compiler and call it locally when required. The application uses the Posix_Io package and I haven't tracked down a validated version on NT. Could anyone advise me if I'm being silly or whether I actually have a reasonable chance of compiling it under NT, and which compilers would be worth giving a try? Any help gratefully received, cheers rog. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Roger Hoyle rh@signal.dera.gov.uk [ The views expressed above belong to me, and not my employer. ]
