At work we use a product called xinet to allow us to mount the 
hard disk of a unix workstation on our macintoshes.  There are also
a least one freeware product that allows this CAP.  i know a number of
you out there are using your macs as terminals to write ada code and
would like a nice ada savvy text editor on your mac..  

i was talking to the vendor of a really nice mac text editor (bbedit) that
in its newest version supports color coding of langauge syntax similar
to what emacs does.  they supprt a number of languages but at this time
have not supported Ada.  When i talked to them yesterday they were mildly
interested as its not a lot of work for them to add new langauges.  they
told me they had only had one other enquiry about ada support and that if
they saw more interest they would be inclined to add add support to their
editor. What i would like to do is ask the mac users on this group to
please
email or phone the bbedit folks and let them know if you have interest
in ada support on mac text editors.  

by the way. this editor is provided as part of the machten package that
we build gnat-mac on top of.  so if you are going to be using this even if
you don't have bbedit you are probably an interested party.

thanks!!
