The software that you mentioned is, err, massive. You do not go into
an Ada compiler project without a couple of years, and a software team
of at least 4 people and hopefully more. . Add in
documentation people, etc., and we're talking multimillions in venture
capital needed, and a lot of organization -- both of which seem to be
missing in the Amiga software marketplace (where most companies have 4
people, period, including the secretary and the shipping clerk!).
