another easy way to make Ada more popular, is to have the gnat rpm
package be part of packages that are installed on linux system
when one installs the OS first time.

right now, when I install a Linux system first time, (and offcourse
select the packages to install), onces the system is up, if I want
to compile a C program, all I have to do is type gcc.

with ada, it is little more work, since ada is not installed as part
of the system installation.  

(it is only recently that gnat distribution in form of RPM's made
available, this is very good thing. Now we need to write to 
red hat, caldera, suse, debian etc.. and ask them to have gnat rpm 
as part of the languages that gets installed when Linux is installed).

Bill.
