Now that IBM has announced "its" Ada compiler (Telesoft's Telegen2) for MVS and VM/CMS, some questions arise: (1) Is it validated? If not, when is it scheduled? (2) Can you interface it with other IBM languages? If so, which ones? (The scientific people will mostly want ForTran, the business people CoBOL.) (2) Will it interface with IBM DBMSs? If not, is this planned? (Since most business programming uses DBMSs the answer to this question ought to tell us whether IBM--the pre-eminent business vendor--is really serious about Ada.)
