As I am sure you know, the U.S. Department of Defense is hooked on Ada and cannot get off. So it was not a surprise when the Air Force came to us and asked us to build for them a catalog of commercially available Ada compilers and CASE support tools. It WAS a surprise when they asked us to include c++ compilers and tools, too. Making a long story short, it turns out that c++ is the Lord High Substitute for Ada and there is a rather large class of applications for which c++ may well turn out to be the preferred substitute. (I know, that class probably includes 100% of the applications, but this is the Air force, Mr. Jones!) So. We know about most of the compilers, tools, etc. that are heavily advertised. But what else is out there? What do you use, like, recommend, sell? Please note that no one involved in this cataloging effort reads this newsgroup. (At this benighted place mostly no one reads news at all!) Please send responses to Audrey Hook (hook@ida.org) Thanks. -- --Dick Wexelblat (rlw@ida.org) 703 845 6601 Can you accept an out of state sanity check?
