Indeed! I found Tom's reply very odd. When someone asks
for the latest version of PowerPoint, they are not asking
for the development version that some team in Redmond is
using to test out their latest additions and fixes ...

For the record,

The latest public version of GNAT is 3.11p

The latest version of GNAT Professional is 3.11b2

We are testing version 3.12 technology, and early beta
versions are being tested by selected customers. We are
hoping that the 3.12a GNAT Professional release will be
ready for beta testing within a couple of weeks. If this
testing goes smoothly, then a final release of GNAT
Professional 3.12 will follow, followed by a release
of public version 3.12p.
