Well, I don't tout any special interface as a big advantage, because
developer UI preferences are as varied and religious as editor preferences.
Certainly there are _some_ who would find a Un*x command line an
advantage, even on a Mac.

Yes.

Yep. Rich (the Bare Bones Software principal) has given us a definite maybe.
I supplied him, as he requested, with a lot of Ada 95 code samples and
a list of reserved words.
If (independent of MachTen, even) you think an "Ada mode" for BBEdit
would be nice, contact Bare Bones and let 'em know.
(For the Mac-uninitiated, BBEdit is the most popular ASCII editor for
the Mac. There are shareware and $$ versions.)

Maybe you should open it up. The BBEdit folks at MacWorld were wearing
T-shirts saying "BBEdit - it doesn't suck."
I use the one that came with MachTen.:-)
