No, because if there indeed are questions to the GPS/gpr design, compared to the Visual Studio or Workbench GPS is as Ada to C. Maybe the irony is in how many man-years were burnt out for the Visual Studio compared to the GPS? -- Regards, Dmitry A. Kazakov http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de

I liked AdaGIDE, but GPS is sufficiently more comfortable now. -- Regards, Dmitry A. Kazakov http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de

I found it much easier to go back to the Makefile and emacs. :) Warren |
