[net.lang.ada] British Validations

Mendal@SU-SIERRA.ARPA (Geoff Mendal) (03/25/86)

I find the news of having two mutually exclusive
ACVC's disturbing.  I would very much like someone
to comment on why there will soon be two ACVC suites
floating around.  What's the deal?

In any case, as most of know anyway, just because a compiler
passes the ACVC, doesn't make it usable.  I have walked the
SIGAda halls and "evaluated" many validated compilers.  As
you would expect, some of them are wonderful, and others I
found unusable. (No names will be mentioned.)  Ada compiler
consumers should still beware of what they are buying, even 
with an ACVC label on it.        gom
