However, I cannot find a reference to it in the June 1990 list of validated compilers, and that list shows only IBM (via TeleSoft) and Alsys supporting IBM mainframes. I guess Intermetrics let its validation lapse or something. Is that system still being maintained? Anyone out there know? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof. Michael Feldman Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science The George Washington University Washington, DC 20052 202-994-5253 mfeldman@seas.gwu.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Intermetrics chose not to validate our IBM MVS compiler on the 1.10 suite, due to cost vs. benefit. We are currently working on 1.11 and will re- validate the compiler this winter. Meanwhile, we are still selling the compiler (which does correctly handle the 1.10 suite, certificate or not), and our customers have not seemed to have a problem with it. The compiler is very "MVSy", with interfaces to CICS, many form-string options, EBCDIC<->ASCII translation wherever required, etc. Mike Ryer Intermetrics, Inc.
