C to Ada translation? I vote hiring somebody to do it by hand at five or six bucks an hour. If the code is too icky to translate by hand with a sufficiently high degree of confidence that you've preserved the functionality, then rewrite the program(s). -Johnny Zweig Institute for Defense Analyses/ Computer and Software Engineering Division.
