Really, you say: No release!

This web page ("wiki") should contain the history and status of the project. Location of the main documentation and links to the files.

No files in the Download section but there are in the SVN area!

http://c2ada.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/c2ada/

"jcreem" may be the one that inserted the files but as primary manager, "Simon Wright" is responsible for the project.

A unmodified version of the file c2ada_linux_august_2007.zip should be in the download area as an archived version.

You did not see my other post on Ada OS where I stated that to proved the usage and to documentation the operation of the "c2ada" the program should be used on itself. No rewrite!
Just using the program on itself to prove that it works and then posting this new version.

That is:

1. Placed the original zip file into the download area stating that this was the original code and is stored for archiving purposes only.

2. Documenting the following steps ( 3 .. 5 ).

3. Compile the program.

4. Using the c2Ada to convert the original "c2ada" C code to a standard Ada 95 code.

5. Editing the 20% of the code that the program bypasses.

6. Placing this new "ADA ONLY" version into the SVN tree as well as an archived version in the downloading area.

7. Insert the documented transition (from step 2) into the web site.

Time Table: A couple of weekends. Basically while watching TV on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. One weekend for converting the program and a second for correcting the documentation and uploading.

Then later:
8. Update the program for Ada 2005.


Sounds great. Please make the edits and contribute the updates. That is the whole idea of going to SF and having a wiki is that instead of complaining about what could be done you can do it.
