It is quite possible, and I hope I just did not check carefully...

Every time I stopped in Borland Inspire website: I found enough information
related to their products such as demos, white papers, presentations,
success stories, new enhancements, compiler specification,...  to find
myself directly in Buy-on-Line area (without actually contacting to their
sales personnel). When I check  Fortran Vendors websites (Lahey, Compaq,
...) I find enough information related to the last version, new
enhancements, Compiler speed, debugging technology, Optimization Procedures,
Adds-in Products and ...  this means that when you talk to a salesman you
are almost sure that you will buy it.  (and many many other examples)

Nevertheless, when I checked Ada Compiler Vendors websites I didn't feel the
same (No sufficient information, thus no Buy-on-Line area)

I still hope I just did not check carefully...

I apologize to everyone for provoking this off-topic discussion
