Well for wone, I like an IDE with the compiler. I guess it could be possible to use the FSF compiler with Adacore's GPS but I am neitehr a Linux nor an Ada crack so I prefer a out of the box solution. My main point however is this: You can not expect everybody to work for free and Gnat is basically the only solution out there if you want Linux and Windows Ada 2012 features. So as Eliza Dolitte's father would say: I'm willing to pay them! I'm wanting to pay them! I'm waiting to pay them! Just not 10,000$ I would be happy to pay something in the field of 300$ for that system as it is now, without tech support, if it allowed me to write small closed suorce software. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com
