[net.lang.ada] LA AdaTEC's Ada Fair Programs

colbert@trwspp.UUCP (06/26/84)

The set of programs that LA AdaTEC intends to have the Ada compiler
vendors who attend this years Ada Fair can be found in the USC-ECLB
<EV-INFORMATION> directory & I believe that can be FTP'ed through the
ARPA-net anonomous login.  There were 3 corrections that I'm not sure have
been incorporated into the version of the programs in the EV-INFORMATION.
They are:

	(1) delete package random - it wasn't used, because of
	    the random number generation was not acceptable.

	(2) the Consumer/Producer program line 91 should read

	    	all_there := is_ok;

	    - the old test caused a race condition.

	(3) the parameter & return types for the Akerman
	    function on line 72 of the Time_Akerman program
	    should be Natural instead of Positive.  Unfortuately,
	    you need to be very patient to test the execution
	    of Akerman's Function on AdaED.

These programs have all been tested on NYU's AdaED Version 1.3 or 1.4
(and by the vendors that will be at the fair).


For those who are unaware, the <EV-INFORMATION> directory is a part of the
Evaluation & Validation Program for Ada Compilers & Environments that is
sponsored by the AJPO & spearheaded by the Air Force.  If you are
interested you might want to contact:
