Well most certainly ACT will be continuing to maintain our version, especially as long as there is confusion as to whether anyone else is even trying to fill this role, and how much time they may have. For us, the Ada aware version of EMACS is one of the critical parts of our technology, since at this stage it really begins to provide a very attractive integrated development environment, that many of our big customers are using. So we will most certainly continue that development. We are happy to support any indepedent efforts by contributing our ideas and code, but just as Cygnus maintains versions of gdb and gcc independent of EGCS to meet the needs of their customers, we need to maintain a version that is under our control and meets our customer needs. What will be nice is if we an avoid divergence of the code bases (just as Cygnus does, i.e. by resynchronizing every now and then), and we should all work towards that. But one problem here is that editor related matters tend to generate lots of diverse and strongly held ideas, so it is not necessarily so easy to guarantee convergence. -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
