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 Nobat
