Yes. I did not choose my words carefully enough. I meant publically 
available in terms to imply that all people on this list could just go 
and download it for free. (or simply type in a credit card and pay for 
it for that matter).

ObjectAda is like many other products targeted at the giants. If you are 
a home user, even if you have the money to spend, you can't figure out 
how to spend it (or what the cost is) without dealing with some sales 
staff. Not really a knock on anonix. It is pretty standard for all 
things targetting "the enterpruse" that even the people who make the 
product recommendations can't get a reasonable story on cost, 
availability, licensing, etc without talking to someone.


Of course I could be missing the point of your e-mail. If there is a URL 
for a version that can either be downloaded for free or for which I can 
type in a credit card and buy it, it would be nice to know as this is 
one of the better kept secrets in the world of Ada as far as I can tell.
