Ada95 for Windows 95 Reviewers Wanted

[Ian Goldberg <Ian@RRSOFTWARE.COM>]

Product Reviewers Needed

R.R. Software is in the process of building an Ada 95 package for =
Windows 95 that will contain a "thick", object-oriented Windows binding =
and a GUI application builder.

We have an immediete need for product testers as part of the new product =
release. The review team will be set up in two groups, Tiers I & II.   =20

Tier I testers will be provided with hard copies of both the Binding and =
our Janus/Ada 95 Professional Development System for Windows 95/NT.  =
They will also recieve, at least,  two versions of the bindings, and at =
least two versions of the tools.  Tier I testers will also be provided =
an opportunity to comment on early versions of the design documents.

Tier II shall be comprised of interested programmers that already own an =
Ada 95 compiler package for Windows 95, which can be from any =
manufacturer.  These testers will have the opportunity to download off =
either our Web site or our BBS a soft copy of the bindings.  The design =
documents and the GUI application builder will not be available to Tier =
II testers.

Accepted Tier I testers will be shipped a copy of the Janus/Ada 95 PDS =
for Microsoft Windows NT/95.  This will provide them the opportunity to =
familiarize themselves with the latest Ada 95 features and enhanced =
capabilities.  The use of our compiler will not be required for the =
final product, but will be essential in the early development stages.

Tier I testers will be expected to provide timely feedback on the =
binding and tools.  This should include comments and suggestions, as =
well as bug reports.  They also will be expected to provide example =
application(s) using the bindings, as well as code demonstrating bugs.  =
These testers will be asked to sign a minimal non-disclosure agreement =
for mutual protection.

To apply to be a  tester, please send E-Mail to: randy@rrsoftware.com.  =
Please include the following information: your name, shipping, mailing, =
and e-mail addresses, daytime (work) phone number, Ada 95 compilers =
used, a statement relating your experience using Ada 95, object-oriented =
programming, and Windows programming, and a brief statement on your =
ideas on Windows bindings. =20

We will contact the selected testers in April.  All applicants will be =
automatically placed on the Tier II mailing list, it is not necessary to =
send a separate message to do that.

To be placed on the Tier II tester mailing list, please send E-Mail to =
randy@rrsoftware.com with your name and E-Mail address.  Be sure to =
identify the message as a request for Tier II tester status.  We will =
then let you know when to begin with your review.

Thank you for your interest,
