The old GNAT GPL is > just fine, unless you wanted newer Ada 2012 toys... i would like access to newer Ada 2012 toys :-) more generally, i don't want to test my software on a platforms list as long as possible. i want to conceptually make it as portable as possible, and then i hope users will report bugs, this way, i'll be able to enhance portability :-) the specific problem i have, is that there was already a fix, and that it wouldn't be fine to revert it while improving other thing ... that's why i hope someone could help me just for this fix, even without looking at my software :-) -- RAPID maintainer http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/rapid/
