Unescape URL Procedure - 3 new
----------------------------------
Does anyone know of an Unescape URL procedure for Ada? If so, which package? 
Alternately maybe someone knows a short-cut to get %26 where 26 could be 
replaced with a number in range 33-126, into it's actual character 
representation; %26 is actually the '&' character. %26 corresponds to 16#26# (
hex). Just looking for 'tricks' and short-cuts to do this. Andrew Carroll

Improve Desire & Performance - all new
----------------------------------
For the first time, we are offering the only male enhancement and performance 
system to you at a special internet price. 90% of males were interested in 
improving their sexual stamina, performance, and the size of their manhood. 
Are you one of the 90%? I was skeptical, but when I purchased my first bottle
of your BLACK LABEL FORMULA and tried them, within days I was seeing results. 
The Bonus DVD I got was really helpful, and now I am a new man! Thank you

CVS front-ends - 5 new
----------------------------------
... Yes. ... Ok. ... I find the documentation adequate. ... Yes. That is 
the CVS philosophy; provide basic features, let people write higher level 
tools that fit their process. ... I've written some small extensions to Emacs
pcl-cvs (aka pcvs). In particular, I have one function called cvs-dtrt, for "
do the right thing" :). Given the pcl-cvs display, it invokes the appropriate 
action for the file under the cursor, or prompts the user if there is more 
than one. A minor function, but quite a productivity boost. See http://www.

access & address - 5 new
----------------------------------
... I know that. ... Currently I enjoy patching together the libraries of 
two different vendors. Both of which have a C interface. That puts a real new 
twist to "knowing your data". And only when PC-lint runs I know when the two 
interfaces won't fit together. ... I thought int must only be signed 16bit - 
and that goes only to 32767. While size_t need to be large enough to hold any 
size. Hence it is unsigned. And on one of my machines it is actually 64 bit.

----------------------------------
... What do you mean here under "constructor"? A constructor in the sense this
word is used in C++ should be definitely primitive. Initialize in Ada is also 
primitive, though it is not a full constructor in C++ sense. ... Why so? I 
buy a little inconvenience of overriding it in rare cases where the base could
do the job. BTW, when and if Ada will have true user-defined constructors, 
then I think we should seriously consider a requirement to override them in 
each derived type, in all non-trivial cases, like when an... -   Sat,  Oct

P is type T is tagged limited private; ... private type T is tagged
