For the IBM-PC, an ADA compiler was purchased called JANUS/ADA.  Since it is
using the name "ADA", does it not mean that it is validated?  This compiler
was missing many of the special ADA features (tasking, packaging).  If this
is not legal (DOD copyright), then why hasn't anyone clamped down on these
less-than-ADA ADA compilers?  BTW, the JANUS/ADA cost ~$999 and they are
selling another "ADA compiler" for ~$99.
