If I were to develop a copy of XML/Ada > (on SourceForge, say), it would be a permanent fork. Last time I send them a patch I got an answer that it would be merged in. But since XML/Ada does not have cvs access I don't know if its true. (If you are interested in my XML/Ada ad ons: they are part of AdaCL). My patches for PolyORB however have been merged in - PolyORB has cvs access so I know. AdaCore is better then you thing. Martin -- mailto://krischik@users.sourceforge.net http://www.ada.krischik.com
