You can submit patches to the above mailing list and watch as they merge them into the next version of GPS. I mirror this in Ada-France's monotone database[2,3] and I have added tags to identify the release branch points. If you're a fan of distributed version control systems, you might want to use that to create and manage your patches.

I don't think Robert Dewar is listening here on comp.lang.ada but he might be interested; IIUC, before founding AdaCore, he used to write COBOL compilers. > As the keeper of the OpenCOBOL FAQ, pertinent information of what has > been done so far can be seen athttp://opencobol.add1tocobol.com/#can-the-= gnat-programming-studio-be-... > andhttp://opencobol.add1tocobol.com/#can-opencobol-interface-with-ada > > For the curious, OpenCOBOL emits intermediate C and links nicely with > GNAT when using gnatgcc and gnatbind -n > > Excuse the interruption and thanks for GPS and GNAT.
