I am guiltly of the speaking in the software present tense. ;-) Just because I see working code here doesn't mean it is ready for customers yet. My apologies. We started developing the Ada 9X version of Fresco back late last year. We announced the product at TRI-Ada last month. I'll try to add some real data to answer the `when' question. Here are the steps: Description Projected Completion ----------- -------------------- Map CORBA IDL to Ada 9X done Write IDL-to-Ada 9X compiler done Write multi-threaded X11R6 xlib/Ada 9X binding done Write implementations for graphics classes Q4 94 Write multi-threaded Win32/Ada 9X binding Q1 95 Add more widgets and complete documentation Q1 95 Begin beta testing for Fresco/Ada 9X/Unix Q1 95 Begin beta testing for Fresco/Ada 9X/Win 32 Q2 95 (These are current working estimates, not promises. Our Schedule is very much affected by Ada 9X compiler implementors.) We split testing into three phases: Alpha - product is not done, features (and bugs ;-) are still being added Beta - product is done, we're trying to find and fix bugs Gamma - we don't know of any bugs, but product is a new port ...
