I wish more people had the time and inclination to support some of the ideas he has come up with. It is obvious that we all have some interest in Ada sticking around, otherwise we wouldn't be reading this group. I find it hard to believe that a commercial organization isn't willing to invest in an opportunity that could improve their customer base. (Especially when someone is willing to volunteer their own time. Microsoft is willing to spend money sponsoring football games to make OS/2 a household name, and _some_ Ada vendors aren't willing to support a proponent at a conference. Go figure. --- Jon R.
