Thank you John, for mentioning that.  I had not considered most
possibilities in this area because they require installation of
what seem to me to be Unix-like tools which I do not have. I am
sure there are others who don't have Delphi but do have the full
array of Unix-like tools and/or the time to play with them.

I consume bandwidth with this message just to encourage all who
make offerings such as John to indicate in broad terms the types
of underlying assumptions made by the tools.  Even though the IDE
is for GNAT, my firm belief is that the Delphi-reformatted code
will go through the ObjectAda compiler (as well as my code goes
through any compiler :-).
