This drive to another topic: if GNAT is so much more visible than others,  
this is *also mainly due to users and users choices*. Some can't or don't  
want (depends on people) get a commercial license. AdaCore cannot be  
stated responsible of that. A few others has other requirements and just  
want to be able to rely on a second compiler for safety, comparison, or  
any other concern. This is well is not under control of AdaCore. The main  
reason is: Users and users choices (whatever the reasons are).

Any way, I do not feel the overall comment was constructive, that is  
mainly what make me feel to at ease with it. If at least you were to  
release your own Ada compiler and were hurt by some difficulties while  
trying to make your place there, I would have understood your complaints  
about AdaCore. But this is not, and I really not see any reason why you  
complaint. Because you do not like GNAT ? You feel it does not reach the  
quality you would expected ?

Finally, you exposed complains, but you did not tell anything about why it  
matters and why it troubles you. You did not mention a single reason (may  
be because there is really not a single one).

For other: yes, I know, the previous post was plenty of grammatical and  
spelling mistakes, but it is to late to fix it now. Just apologize.
