It seems from this and an earlier post that you've submitted bug reports for C that were not dealt with, and have submitted bug reports for GNAT that were not dealt with. But since you've submitted bug reports for C that were dealt with, but have yet to submit a bug report for GNAT that has been dealt with, you seem to conclude that support for C is better than support for GNAT. FWIW, I've submitted at least one bug report on a public version of GNAT that was dealt with. -- Jeff Carter "Son of a window-dresser." Monty Python & the Holy Grail 12
