E-mail me, I have a very simple PM program written in GNAT. In any case, there should be a release of a PM binding in less than two weeks. It will be very rudimentary though.

I'm becoming convinced that us OS/2 folks should nudge the NYU folks to move over to EMX. As it stands, they're considering it (Robert mentioned this at Tri-Ada). I think this would be a smart move, if only so we can get a debugger (EMX, for better or worse, is becoming the standard gcc implementation for OS/2). -- Proud (and vocal) member of Team Ada!
