Due to proprietary constraints, most of your questions will probably not be answered by anyone who knows. However, it is public knowledge that Tartan provides Ada compilers for TI's successful line of DSPs. These DSPs are used commercially. Assuming an adequate market for Ada programs on TI DSPs, it would seem reasonable that TI would want Tartan to stay in business. I would like to think that TI will be sending something to Tartan's customers about their plans for the Tartan lines, in order that such speculation could be put to rest. -- LMTAS - "Our Brand Means Quality" For more info, see http://www.lmtas.com or http://www.lmco.com
