If you are talking about the c.l.a FAQ at http://www.adahome.com/FAQ/comp-lang-ada.html , please do take it if you are willing. It hasn't been updated in almost 2 years and hasn't been posted in 3 years. As a result newbies have little recourse other than to go ahead and ask their FAQ's (eg: Getting Gnat to run on Red Hat 6) over and over again. Since it is not being properly taken care of, and you have asked about it and gotten no response in a reasonable amount of time, it would seem reasonable to pronounce it "dead" and take it over yourself. Unfortunately, Magnus has the old FAQ copyrighted with a rather restrictive license. I don't think you can legitimately modify the old it without his express permission. However, that FAQ has grown so stale that starting over really wouldn't be such a bad idea anyway. I would suggest that you use a more open license than Magnus, so that we don't have to go through this again. -- T.E.D. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
