Of course these bindings were proprietary. OK, Kevin, please reread your own comment above. You claim that _ObjectAda_ (a 1996 Ada95 product) would not be usable. You are now claiming that your "point" was about Ada83 and (even less relevant) various Ada83 vendor proprietary bindings. Since you are unclear what your point is, it is not surprising that I "missed it". > >What your point is wrt to the situation today? > > 1.

Wrong again. First, this is a rather rare case where your continual misleading pontifications became very frustrating and annoying. I confess to succumbing to this baiting. Second, while small, we are 7 in size. /Jon -- Jon Anthony Organon Motives, Inc. 1 Williston Road, Suite 4 Belmont, MA 02178 617.484.3383 jsa@organon.com
