If they found it disappointing then they might have considered promoting it. I
have yet to see an Ada article in a os/2 magazine. I have yet to see any
presence of any Ada company in the os/2 news groups. Constrast this with the
shareware Speed Pascal product which was started long after GNAT was available
for OS/2.
The fact is that hardly any os/2 user knows that there is an Ada compiler
available. With the current attempts at promoting Ada in OS/2 environments it is
highly likely to stay that way.
