[net.lang.ada] LA Ada Fair

	Does anyone out there know if all the programs that were used at the LA
Ada Fair are absolutely, positively correct? They were posted in net.sources a
while ago. If all of them are not correct, which programs are not, and why
not. Thanks in advance.

All of the programs that were posted on net.sources are correct to the best
of my knowledge.  They have all been run successfully on NYU's Adaed V1.4
and on ROLM/DG's compiler (among others), both of these compilers were
recently revalidated (which is why I cite them over the others).

There maybe one problem in the sets program. I not sure if I posted the
latest version (1.3).  If not then there is on correction in the last
pragma, which in the old version looked like:

	pragma Inline ("Is_Member");

There should not be quotes around Is_Member.

P.S. If you're interested in getting involved with the organizing of LA
SIGAda either send me a message or give me a call at (213) 535-7050.
We need people to:

	(1) help plan Ada Fair `85.
	(2) be members of our Industrial Representives Committee (we mainly
	    ask that you post our fliers at your company & that you find
	    speakers from your company to talk at our meetings).
	(3) help plan future events.

P.S.S. If you have programs that you think would be useful for compiler
benchmarks & would like to see them included in the program suite used at LA
Ada Fair `85, then send me a copy.  Read over the rules & the programs that
were submitted last year (posted on net.sources) and be sure that you're
program can be run under similar (if not the same) rules.  Also please send
copies of any input & output for each program and please test them on a
compiler (validated).

NOTE: we give copies of these programs to everyone who attends & we post
copies of these programs on both ARPAnet & USEnet, so don't send anything
you are not willing to release.
