And thus the "old" non open source model killed off the possibility that CLAW would be the basis of a standard or be extended by the wider community of programmers..... or outlive its own developers.... Imagine if my development efforts would have been used to modify and extend CLAW instead of writing GWindows...... GWindows covers almost all areas of CLAW (some intentionally not covered) and is way beyond it in other areas (database to control bindings, ActiveX, etc.), CLAW would have been by now double its feature set and more and I likely would have already completed many of my long term goals. (For example, I only need about 6-8 months of full time work to complete, at least in 1.0 terms, my Delphi like environment for Ada.... Some day.... some how... eventually....) Economic sense can be made of this, but not in the traditional ways of thinking..... David Botton
