Certainly, and the value of this brief announcement was enhanced by the
fact that it was a "fresh" item, rather than responding to one of what
seems like daily "write-before-read" postings asking "Has anyone ever
heard of an ADA compiler for Windows 95?".

My newsreader displays -<Discussion about Ada*.>- for this newsgroup,
and I am certain it was not put their by the local system manager.
It would be nice if someone could make it include a FAQ URL.
