Greg,

Why would I flame your 'attack' -- you're absolutely right. 
Earlier this week I posted a note showing the type of support that
Ada vendors give small commercial firms.  Does anyone care?  So
far only Dave Emery (in a private message).  

For all the fancy words we hear (read?) it doesn't appear that the
powers that be really want Ada to succeed.  Since I'm talking
about those who make their living selling Ada I just don't
understand it.
