It could have been you! And in fact, why not try to do the same thing for NT. It is not an insuperable task at all. Work hard to be part of the solution, rather than spending your effort exhorting others to do the work. It is actually a good question for every one to ask if you are an Ada enthusiast. "What can *I* do to help Ada". Perhaps it is to help place a favorable article, or bring Ada to someone's attention who might be favorably inclined, or to contribute a useful package you have written -- or to package up some useful releases, or to write a neat new gizmo for Ada mode in EMACS, or perhaps to write an Ada mode for some other widely used editor (WORD macros anyone :-). There are LOTS of possibilities. Robert Dewar -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
