(Well, I did say _to_me_ :-) I've noticed, but, as this NG has a large audience, I felt I had to answer. AIDE is a big work for me, and its users base is growing, I hope you understand my point of view. >What I would like to see is a gnat-3.15p-like package with the latest GNAT, >debugger (remember, dwarf format now), GPS and docs in windows formats. Docs in AIDE are mainly in PDF format. I've done a lot of ps->pdf or texinfo->pdf translation. Although PDF is not a native windows format, it is usually well accepted. Today, you can't have bothes reliable toolset and latest toolset. This is why AIDE has a conservative approach by design. It's like Mandrake or Debian : a matter of choice. >For me, cross-platform is a nice bonus, but not at the expense of windows >functionality. Our views greatly differs, but it does not matter. I hope this thread has clarified AIDE goals and philosophy : reliable development environment for Ada, including all development aspects, like user and technical documentation, with multi-platform in mind.
