  You misunderstand what I'm saying here - it's not that *projects* are
  slow to adapt, it's that they don't adapt at all.

That's much too great a generalization. We are finding a lot of projects
that do want to adapt to Ada 95 over time. Perhaps one of the most
dramatic examples of this is the significant demand for a port of
GNAT to the VAX from several large projects. These are certainly
not projects that are furiously adapting to the latest hardware,
but they see the move to Ada 95 as a way of getting more milage
out of existing hardware on an existing project.

Of course there are projects that will not adapt at all, but we are
surprised how many projects are switching to at least some use of
Ada 95 in mid-stream.

  Well I have a copy of GNAT 3.05 for DOS, one for Solaris and a copy of
  the NT version 3.04, but I am not using them so your conclusion here
  is not guaranteed.

I am talking about people who pick up more than one version for the same
target, so you would not be on that particular radar screen!
