I'm looking for performance comparisons between Ada and other high-level languages (and C). We're porting a set of tools written in a proprietary form of modular Pascal to a different platform, and Ada seems to be the closest language. However, we still need something we can wave under the sceptics' noses that shows that Ada code can perform comparably. The new platform is HP9000/3xx, but I'll take any input. Thanks. Rick Johns BNR

Try Turbo Pascal 5.5 ... it's object oriented, and may actually make Pascal a worthwhile language ... :*). -- cmaidt - via FidoNet node 1:147/10 UUCP: ...!uokmax!metnet!30.8!cmaidt INTERNET: cmaidt@p8.f30.n147.z1.FIDONET.ORG
