No, Metrowerks had no Ada offering, and they have recently committed to some _very_ large tasks in supporting the most recently announced Apple plans for Operating System changes. Even if Metrowerks were very interested in Ada (no sign of that), business priorities draw them to other projects. Actually, for those of us interested in Ada running on regular operating systems, Metrowerks priorities seem quite similar to many of the Ada compiler vendors. Both are drawn to supporting various "embedded" target environments, although Metrowerks choice of targets indicates they are not chasing after US military dollars. Larry Kilgallen
