You might try another approach. Ask how many of us would pay some reasonable amount, $50 to $100 for a copy of JGNAT. To add to my heresy, I would suggest a version of JGNAT that worked with Microsoft's intermediate language. One very useful old motto is, "If you can't beat them, join them. Although Java is not much more than brilliant marketing by SUN, the creation of microprocessors based on P codes or their successor, J codes, is a very good approach. The use of J code engines on retarded chips also makes sense. -----Original Message----- From: comp.lang.ada-admin@ada.eu.org [mailto:comp.lang.ada-admin@ada.eu.org] On Behalf Of Ant=F3nio Vargas Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 6:24 AM To: comp.lang.ada@ada.eu.org Subject: Re: JGNAT status???
