Of > course, this is probably a religious issue and has very little to recommend One minor thing I've always thought odd about Ada is the inconsistency where some ends require a name, some forbid it, and some don't care. Also, some demand a keyword match (end record) and some don't. -- Wes Groleau http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~wgroleau
