When other libre distributions (with o= ut licence viruses) exist I'll add them there as well. I know that God willing when ready before end of year with the Gnoga IDE an= d GUI builder, I'll make available easy cross platform installs to promote = Ada further. (Shame couldn't just build on GPS as part of all this, but I w= ouldn't feel right forking it, that would clearly be against their current = "relationship" with the community, but should be possible to still use the = GUI builder with it if desired when ready). It would be really great if some others with the right skill sets decided t= ime to get involved with the Draco project retargeting gnat for llvm or s= tart another community supported compiler effort. http://www.dragonlace.net/questions/quest_004/ David Botton
