As "C++ is equal or better than Ada" can easily be dismissed as unsubstantiated :) I agree with you, but I've seen a lot of time that for chosing C++ you don't have to give data and facts that it is ok for the project, but for Ada you must ! The choice is really biased :) Pascal. --|------------------------------------------------------------ --| Pascal Obry Team-Ada Member | --| | --| EDF-DER-IPN-SID- T T I | --| Intranet: http://cln46gb | --| Bureau N-023 e-mail: [log in to unmask] | --| 1 Av Général de Gaulle voice : +33-1-47.65.50.91 | --| 92141 Clamart CEDEX fax : +33-1-47.65.50.07 | --| FRANCE | --|------------------------------------------------------------ --| --| http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pascal.obry --| --| "The best way to travel is by means of imagination"
