That is a good idea Jeffrey. I support it. This way c2Ada can be reached by 
more folks, and hopefully this way it might proof more useful in porting C 
code to Ada.

I have no experience at all with sourceforge, if you can do this, please do. 
Any thing I can to help just let me know All the source code is in that tar 
file, with a Makefile, and instructions how to build it are on that link 
also, and the original source code is there also. Having the code under 
source control is very important.

The code is old and needs some dusting off but it compiles and builds ok, at 
least on my Linux box. I could not port to Cygwin, there are some libraries 
missing from cygwin, I think it was the gperf.so which is needed by c2Ada 
link.

It would be great if c2Ada could be made such that one can 'see it' from 
adept_manager for example. I do not know how this process works.  I really 
think adept_manager is amazing. With one click one can download any 
application for Linux, and the system takes care of all the dependency and 
other conflicts.

Thanks for your offer to help.
