I'm glad you cleared that up. I had heard talk of that a few years back, but
I had gathered the "acedemic compiler" contract was the contract that Gnat
was developed under, not some separate contract that came along later, and
that Mike had lost with a bid based on Ada-Ed. Boy was I confused!
Out of curiosity, were there any other "bids" on the gnat contract, or was
it just written with NYU in mind?
