Hmmm, not looking good for a dialup user. Ahh, maybe I should buy a
commercial copy. Anyone know if there is a commercial compiler that has the
"experimental" Ada200Y features?

I am willing to help with the wiki. I don't know how much time I can spend
on it and I'm not an expert with Ada yet but I'll do what I can. If 'we'
want the summary to include examples then, again, I'll probably need a
compiler to experiment with the new Ada200Y features. At the moment I don't
really feel like taking 20 hours or so to download the code and do the make.
I don't think I have enough space left on this hard drive anyway (according
to your Programing:Ada instructions).

Also, if 'we' publish something to the wiki does it mean that I cannot use
the information I submitted for the wiki to publish a book on the new
features? I mean if time is invested then why not publish a book? That is
of course if I had permission from everyone else involved in coming up with
the new features. Just a thought.
