We also have an OpenVMS product. Unfortunately, there has been no demand for a OpenVMS version that supports Ada. It wouldn't be a big deal to add that platform, it has just not been clear that anybody would buy it. > > > All popular UNIX > > and Linux platforms will be supported. > > where you said: > > > No, you're not blind.

Almost true. Here's the timetable: 2002 OpenVMS BX PRO 5.0 released (Replaces BX PRO V3.5.1 for OpenVMS) At the time, BX PRO 5.0 is the current release of BX PRO. 2005 July: Ada BX PRO 6.0 released (Replaces BX PRO V3.5.1 for Ada). Today, BX PRO V6.0 is the current release. 2005 August: OpenVMS BX PRO 6.0 will be released. (Replaces BX PRO V5.0 originally released in 2002). > > 4.

We deliver binaries of these bindings. Historically, these bindings have been very tied to compiler versions. (i.e., We've built for 2.x.x.a and they break on 2.x.x.b...) Regards, Mark
