Oh, I see. We distribute it via the FSF under the > GPL. Who can afford the time to do that. Most Ada programmers I know RTDB -> FIRM. Developed under US DoD contract, therefore source can be acquired from the DoD. Being DoD, however, the red tape to get it would be a pain. For less hassle (but more money), buy them from Lockheed-Martin with support. At least I think you can. Someone with initials M. C. could tell you more. I don't know whether he follows C.L.A., but he _is_ on the Ada for Mac OS X mailing list. See adapower.com to subscribe, and post something like "Somebody here want to tell me about databases called FIRM and RTDB?"
