Well I have no idea on what *you* agreed :-) I am just telling you the current situation. The next release (not a beta release, but a full release of GNAT Professional) will be 3.12a. If there are no problems with this release, 3.12p will be based on it, if, as happened with 3.11, there are minor glitches, we may need a 3.12a1 or 3.12a2 before we cut 3.12p. But I repeat 3.12a is NOT yet released. > I'd hate to trawl back > through dejanews to confirm this, so I take your word on this. > Ques: > whats the current "beta" There is no formal beta release at the current time > and current "wave" ?

The compiler course here at NYU works by having students make modifications of this general level of difficulty as one of the projects for the course (for example, someone added a C-like construct (condition) ? expression : expression :-) -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
