Well, I am a little curious where that belief of yours came from. It jibes
neither with my personal experience, nor (more importantly) with what I have
witnessed in the last 5 years here on c.l.a.
I'm not trying to be anti-ACT here. I think they have been a wonderful source
of good for the Ada community. Where would Ada be right now without Gnat?
(Nowhere, that's where!) But not stopping there, they consistently do more
than they have to or need to. Witness GLADE, the spitbol packages, etc. Also
(where the rubber meets the road) whenever I've submitted a bug report
through official channels as an unsupported user I got aswesome response. Way
better than most companies tech support when I *am* supported. I'm not
knocking the likes of GreenHills, Rational, Aonix either. But I have
submitted bug reports through email to all of them, and not once did I ever
get a complete response from the president of the company within an hour. :-)
T.E.D.
