I expect that we will wrap this up for the net within the next week or two. For those of you familiar with GW-Ada/Ed-Mac, there is _no_ change in functionality. On the other hand, thanks to Fabrizio's great work, there are a few substantive changes: (1) the 68020/30/40 version is speeded up by a significant factor (4 or so). (2) a version compiled for native PowerPC (this is FAST!) (3) a version compiled for 68000 (this is SLOW and requires System 7, but it is a way of getting Ada going, say, a Mac SE) (4) a few bits and pieces and bugs fixed. We are all grateful to Fabrizio for doing this work. The Free Software principle rides again! For those of you not familar with this system at all, I'll post an announcement in my next message.
