You need the foundation (develoment tools) first. Of corse GNAVI with integrated DB would be even better. The first step of the Ada comunity should be to give up on our tiny pet project and intergrate them into something larger wich then has the power to create those great applications. >> And I don't think you want me to either, do you? > > No, not really.

They are just not integated into main AdaCL. Martin -- mailto://krischik@users.sourceforge.net http://www.ada.krischik.com
