Look at GVD, XML/Ada, GNAT, Glide, etc. I agree, anyway we'll see in Q4 what happens :-) If made public though, it would be a major tool also for the C users out there in the Open Source community, so I would think it could aquire a lot of users. And hopefully people will pick up that the program is made with Ada95 and *perhaps* think "Hmm, perhaps I should give this language a try!" :-) Preben
