Why not > mention AdaCL instead (or in addition)? I agree about Ada Home, but not about the others. The PragmARCs are explicitly said to be Ada 95. Since most compilers still seem to be Ada-95 compilers, and the PragmARCs attempt to be useful on many compilers, this should not be a surprise. I'm not aware of any compilers other than GNAT that provide the new features, and many of the other libraries listed are Ada-95 libraries. When there is widespread support for the new features it will make sense to modify these libraries accordingly. GNAVI's sourceforge site indicates it was last updated 2008 Nov 28. That doesn't sound like "dead" to me. It is still used and is still an option. QtAda should be mentioned, as well. The more, the better. -- Jeff Carter "We'll make Rock Ridge think it's a chicken that got caught in a tractor's nuts!" Blazing Saddles 87
