I got my copy (ver. 5.1.3) about four months ago. I paid about $1000. The project I hoped to used it on was cancelled, so I don't have too much experience with it. But there are at least two potential "got-yas" 1) The documentation seems to say that a floating-point coprocessor is absolutely necessary for execution if any floating point operations are used. 2) The way the libraries are configured, it seems that Ada tasking is not possible when using WIN32 calls. I sent E-mail to Alsys to get a clarification of these concerns, but I got no straight answers. Maybe someone from Alsys can answer these concern by replying to this thread. -- Michael Hirasuna | hirasuna@acm.org
