A friend purchased one of the Janus products; he was quite pleased with it. However, I noticed there was no tasking and (I think) no generic support. How can RR/janus call this an Ada compiler? What happened to the no super/subset rule? Just curious... (p.s., I would be interested in a low cost Mac Ada compiler, too) ---- jnixon@atl.ge.com ...steinmetz!atl.decnet!jnxion

I am doing some contract work for RR software, and I can asure you that their current compiler is fully validated and includes both tasking and generics. I believe they had an early version of the compiler that was called an "Ada education tool" that was not fully validated, but that was several years ago. As to the requests for a Mac version of their compiler, I will pass them along to their marketing department. Loren L. Hart loren@cup.portal.com San Jose, California
