I would like to receive comments on first-hand experiences with the tools DEC provides for Ada development. I do not know yet of the exact nature of them, only that DEC has some available including a language sensitive editor. Any comments? Thanks J.

One year ago, I have worked with the language sensitive editor (LSE) on a VAX. This editor knew the complete Ada syntax which was handy at writing new Ada programms. With LSE, you can type the first characters of a keyword or some other syntax rule and then <CRTL>E (expand). The LSE will replace these characters by the syntax rule. When the characters identify more then one rule, you get a list of posible choises. One important feature of the LSE is that you can define your own syntax (or a predefined one of an other language). Depending on the extention of the filename, LSE uses a syntax of a perticulary language.
