I thought we'd previously agreed that 3.11b2 was the "commerical"version on
which the header files had been changed to 3.11p, and that
the next beta release was to be 3.12a ? I'd hate to trawl back
through dejanews to confirm this, so I take your word on this. Ques:
whats the current "beta" and current "wave" ?

No, going to call my version "millenium" and set up a supportcompany called
"Instance Coffee's Quicker LTD" :-). Then I'm
going to release it in a flurry of press releases making all sorts of
claims for its ability to run on paper.
Ofcourse, I'm going to have to find a way to protect my greatest
company ASSET which of course ( bar my customers ) is not my
linux box, or office or phone, but my KNOWLEDGE of
"millenium". To this end I'm going to restrict as much as possible
external knowledge, to the point even of employing those who
make a significant contribution. The last thing I want ( as I'm going
to make a living from it) is for other "support" companies (such as
Rational, Greenhills ?) to pick it up and run.

Robert,
My identity is given away by the static node addresses from
which I post. My "demon" account ( You need to be over
18 and optionally pop a happy pill to read it though ) gives
my personal email to those who root around. I make my
living in the Ada development world, and its a small
world for dealing in opinion.

I sure you have a list of (better and more worthy) additions toAda95 which
could come alive under "-gnat2K" :-)

Thanks for the encouragement and pointers. I shall undertake itas a "home
project" on 3.11p, the learning curve is the
problem, but I hope the payback in Ada95 knowledge from studying
the front end will be worth the time investment, and demonstrated by the
implementation of a dubious switch :(
