I would like to point out that the single issue connected with COM/DCOM in
Ada that was connected with GNAT is completely resolved by GNAT 3.12p.

This makes GNAT the __ONLY__ Ada compiler capable of creating fully
functioning robust Ada COM objects in both Dll and Exe containers on Win NT.

Also the new link libraries included in 3.12p no longer require the use of
the MS link library OLEAUT32.LIB.

I have adjusted the article:

* Creating COM objects with Ada
http://www.adapower.com/os/make-com.html

to reflect the changes in GNAT 3.12p ( with a few more adjustments to come)

I will be updating the AdaCOM prototypes to target GNAT 3.12p (they
currently target 3.11p and also 3.12p using the make12.bat file) and remove
the Linker_Option clauses that use the MS link library from the framework.

The release version of the tools and frame works for COM/DCOM are in the
works now (including documentation and more). The release versions will be
GPL'd with source available. They will have a new name, look, and framework
to go along with them.... Stay tuned.....
