COM access as easy as VB for Ada. On The Ada Source Code Treasury, I have a section called called projects at: http://www.botton.com/ada/projects I am more then willing to donate and help to put up any projects or proposals for the creation of reusable open software components. (or for anything Ada for that matter) Ada has real advantages. Lets make Ada real usable, real easy, and real open. Ada can rise to sit as the leading language in many domains now held by Java and C++, but not with out the tools and components to make it easy for all levels, programmers and engineers, to develop software.
