This topic has passed through here before, so I know someone must have the answer. Please forgive if you've personally seen the topic too much. Could someone please send me a vgrind language definition for Ada? Is there a way of controlling the font style chosen by vgrind? I would like to use a mono-spaced rather than proportional font.

There are two major difficulties: 1. Some reserved words can also be attributes (digits). 2. The ' does either mark the start of a character constant or something else (qualified expression, attribute etc.). Vgrind is not able to handle this. For our local use I have written a {n,t,dit}roff preprocessor that is able to handle correctly Fortran and Ada code, but does not have a lot of the niceties of vgrind. I might feel inclined to post it somewhere. -- dik t. winter, cwi, amsterdam, nederland INTERNET : dik@cwi.nl BITNET/EARN: dik@mcvax
