In fact, attempting to compile an interface file in GNU Ada simply syntax checks it. When compiling an implementation, all interfaces used by it, including its own (export) interface, must be available in source form. The compiler maintains the last-modified timestamp of both interface and implementation sources in association with the compiled output, so that recompilation will be suppressed if nothing has changed. -- One Word to write them all, John Cowan <jcowan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> One Access to find them, http://www.reutershealth.com One Excel to count them all, http://www.ccil.org/~cowan And thus to Windows bind them. --Mike Champion
