Xemacs with Adamode compiling with GNAT (which is a validated compiler),
you just about covered it all and not at $25K a seat. You do not loose
the ability to edit code whilst doing a semantize on other packages, it
does not use 5 meg of mem per server (directory, editor, etc .. 6) per
person.

I thought the R1000's were great (we only had 7 users at a time on each
machine), RXI as an interface was quick.
