How do you measure 'very few customers'? Is it in downloads of the
compiler? hits on some web site? or Paying Customers?

How does one become a Paying Customer of ACT? As I've said before, I'm
in a bit of a Catch-22 regarding buying a compiler, but it may be
worth a try. Perhaps after I get my current project running better I
can pursuade someone.

The OS/2 world is rather language-poor. Outside of C/C++, there are a
few commercial Pascal extensions, a few Modula-2's, a Modula-3, maybe
Eiffel soon, etc. As for workstation (AIX) <--> OS/2 portability,
there are only a few options, and Ada may well be the best of them.

Thanks,
