Aha, yes.
I absolutely agree that delay should put the task to sleep, however in the
current DOS version it does not do this, because of rather arcane interactions
with DPMI and gdb.
A next DOS version should definitively include this capability.

Does anyone know when such a version is planned or to whom I should
communicate my need for such facilities?

A J Cornah
asks (regarding an updated DOS port of GNAT)
<<Does anyone know when such a version is planned or to whom I should

ACT has dropped support for DOS, and has no plans to develop a release
past the 3.07 one, which is now considered to be completely unsupported.
The only way a port will appear for later versions of GNAT is if some
volunteer will pick up the task (perfectly feasible, after all, as I have
mentioned before, the *entire* job of porting GNAT to DOS was originally
done by a volunteer, and the task of updating it is FAR simpler).

I am a director of a small engineering/software house that is preparing
to extend a software project for bid. The project is a fairly straight
forward database/thin client application. Two questions: 1. Are there
software consultancy "shops" that will propose solutions using Ada as
part of the project? 2. If the answer to #1 is yes, is there a
repository or list of such companies?
