This is very good news and we thank David for bringing us up-to-date.  I
realize my comments were a bit provocative, and they were intended to
be so.    At present, Aonix does little to demonstrate, to the Ada community,
its commitment to Ada.  So, I hope I am speaking for a majority of members
of this forum when I say we would welcome more information from Aonix
now and then.

Aonix has a long and respectable history within the world of Ada.   It has
always had strong and dependable products.   Their continued success can
only strengthen the position of Ada in the marketplace, and we wish them
the best in their efforts to become an even stronger software company.

So, David, let us hear from you now and then.  You may certainly include
my email directly on any mass mailings you make.   I get a regular email
newsletter from DDC-I, and I always read it.  A similar offering from
Aonix would be welcome.

Thanks again,

Richard Riehle
