I think I will stick with using GNAT because it does seem to be a very good product. Of course I've been using it regularly for the last few months and on/off for a couple of years before that and it seems to do everything I need. I just feel its a shame that ACT don't want to deal with that side of the business. Not exactly encouraging people to use Ada rather than C++ or whatever. The end customer may still opt for the support. If not then I suspect it will be used as a last resort! If ACT is reading then I would certainly be interested in the justification for not offering a two-tier level of support, or at least supporting less users - I mean 10! I'm on a long term support contract for a Nuclear Power Station control system and that doesn't even need 10 of us! Rob Kirkbride -- rob@rk-comp.demon.co.uk
