We are deeply involved in a commercial product which depends heavily
on an 8051 derivative.  Over ten thousand lines of C code are being
maintained at the heart of this product.  Reliability and maintain-
ability issues have been raised.  Migrating the software to GNAT-
for-the-8051 might be a wise move for us.  Keep the group posted
as to progress.
