Well one big difference between GPS and these other systems is that GPS is Free Software. If there ever was a case in which you want the sources available, because you may want to modify things, an IDE is such a case :-) We consider that this is a really very significant point. > I also agree with someone else who suggested the possible > confusion between GPS and GPS. Well so far, it seem to be helping spread the name recognition, which is the general idea :-) What could be better than people arguing over the name to create name recognition? If all the world divides up into those who think its confusing that GPS is called GPS, and those who don't think so, then all the world knows the name :-) :-) At least so far no one confused our Ada compiler with a little bug :-) Robert Dewar Ada Core Technologies _______________________________________________ comp.lang.ada mailing list comp.lang.ada@ada.eu.org http://ada.eu.org/mailman/listinfo/comp.lang.ada
