Alas I do not know if such a beast is somewhere being thought about, but I agree Ada should jump on the .net (.gnu ?) bandwagon. Alas, looking at how the Java ports have been doing, it does not seem commercially interesting. In theory, of course, a volunteer effort could do it, starting with GNAT (or even as a new gcc target). But last time I checked getting the info needed from MS involved signing a lot of contracts with them, and paying a handsome sum of serious money up front. -- -- Jerry van Dijk | email: jvandyk@attglobal.net -- Leiden, Holland | web: users.ncrvnet.nl/gmvdijk
