From GHGAQBA@BLEKUL11.BITNET (Pottie Karl): > Could somebody please tell me how to simulate inheritance in Ada ? > > Thanx > Karl Pottie The easiest way is to obtain a copy of Classic Ada (inquiries to SPS@radc-softvax.arpa, or phone (407) 984-3370), which is a preprocessor providing both inheritance and dynamic binding for Ada-language systems. You might also look at the article "Simulating Inheritance with Ada" by Eduardo Perez, appearing in ACM SIGAda Ada Letters, Vol. VIII, No. 5, Sep/Oct '88, pp. 36-46. Both of the preceding are Smalltalk-oriented. Another product has been developed which is based on the Lisp variant known as Flavors, but I don't think it's yet commercially available.
