<<   SO, to cut to the chase, is there anyone out there willing to send me
(via e-mail or URL) publicly available coding standards from their
(hopefully successful) projects.  I know that Prof. Dewar has said that
ACT has well-defined coding standards for GNAT.  Are those available to
the public without charge, or treated as competitively-valuable
information?  Anyone else?  Thanks in advance.>>

There are two GNAT style rules:

1. Write according to the rules for -gnatg turned on (see style.adb for
full documentation)

2. Write in the same style as the rest of GNAT

The second rule is much harder to document. Parts of it could be documented,
but some of it is related to the feel of how things should look, and is not
so easily documented!

However, it is no secret, and all the information is available to the
public without charge -- just look at the GNAt sources!
