Larry is absolutely right--copying bug reports to c.l.a would clutter this newsgroup with unwanted data. The problem is not only that, as Larry pointed out, many (well, some) c.l.a readers do not use GNAT; it is also that many GNAT bug reports result from "pilot error" and are thus not of general interest. There is already a list server (chat-request@gnat.com to subscribe, chat@gnat.com to post messages) specifically for GNAT users. That is a far more appropriate forum than c.l.a for posting reports of possible bugs. -- Norman H. Cohen mailto:ncohen@watson.ibm.com http://www.research.ibm.com/people/n/ncohen
