However, the original poster (OP) apparently believes that the lack of it means the language is already dead. It's arguable whether the lack will cause it to die, but it's a fact that _currently_ there are still projects coding in Ada. Many of these projects are big enough to afford Apex, which is (IMHO) the kind of IDE that the OP was talking about (except for price). And yet, some of those feel that the GNAT IDE (our some other free one) is adequate. All of them realize that some factor of their project, size, or safety, or reliability requirements, or ??? are such that using Ada is mandatory, IDE or not. -- Wes Groleau http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~wgroleau
