Especially the TP features are often characterized by type-unsafeness and similar issues. Since Ada's main goal is to be strongly typed and safe at runtime, I can't really imagine they added things such as unchecked type-casts, "absolute" variables, assembler statements and machine code inlines, low-level memory access (FillChar, Move), misusing constants as variables, confusion between pointers and arrays and sometimes single elements and arrays etc., to name just some of the most problematic ones. > Conformant > arrays are a GPC addition to pascal. Not at all. Conformant arrays are a feature of both Pascal standards (ISO 7185 and 10206) at "level 1". Some other compilers don't implement them, though. Frank
