This claim from Ted, one of our at-times-rather-insistent unsupported users :-) is a distortion. Please read what I have said carefully. We welcome suggestions and bug reports from unsupported users, and we look at all such reports. If reports are definitely bug reports, then the bug will be fixed in a future release. For suggestions, we may well adopt a suggestion in a future release if it makes sense to us. Many unsupported users have submitted such suggestions and bug reports, and these have been very helpful in the continued development of the GNAT system. We certainly want to thank those who have made the effort to make these constructive contributions! Robert Dewar Ada Core Technologies P.S. On at least some occasions in the past, Ted has submitted such reports, for which we thank him. But it is important to remember that if the report is only submitted in the form of a post to CLA, that does NOT constitute something which we guarantee to read and pay attention to! -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
