Thanks! > So now you were able to run the program ?... Yes, I hit a few snags but was able to build and run it. I would suggest recreating the zip file with a Linux zip program, since it appears to have been built with a Windows program that the Linux one doesn't know how to decode (I was able to get around that). It's an interesting program, going against what I've always been taught as principles of flexible software because of all the compiled-in data. But the result is like a 50 foot cube of solid granite, completely impervious to anything, and in Ada that might be a virtue.
