In May, I presented a proposal to CompuServe Information Service to establish
an Ada Forum. I was informed this week that CompuServe believes there is
insufficient interest and rejected the proposal.
I'm not sure who they talked to, but I won't squeeze my sour grapes here. Many
thanks to those of you that DID express interest.
The Computer Language Magazine Forum (CLMFORUM) on CompuServe continues to
provide an Ada sub-topic. Please continue to inform your non-Internet
Ada-interested friends and collegues of it's existence. There are several
folks on CIS that obtain the INFO-ADA version of comp.lang.ada, and it's a
decent source for SOME Ada discussion (though admittedly not as well attended
as this news group). And nobody criticizes your use of the English language!

I think the CODEPORT forum (the forum for USUS, Inc.) might also support
Ada...although most of the conversation seems to be Modula-2 or Pascal
related. USUS also has a good amount of Ada source code...although those
with 'ftp' access aren't missing anything in terms of Ada. Their source is
not on CIS though, you have to be a member to get it.
For info on USUS, leave me e-mail; it's a non-profit group so I don't mind
doing this bit of free advertising, if it is against net-rules though, I'll
not do it anymore.
