[comp.lang.ada] Telesoft Ada vs. VAX Ada

WSR5672@TNTECH.BITNET (11/17/89)

I have been trying out some of the things from simtel20.  I am using the
VAX Ada compiler running VMS. Are there any problems converting Telesoft Ada
under VMS to VAX Ada?  What do the following qualifiers mean?

$ADA/MPP/DOTS/MPDOTS/NONOTIFY/SOURCE_LISTING

I know the nonotify and source_listing from dealing with VMS, but mpp stuff
doesn't ring any bells.

VAX Ada has to have a library which is managed through ACS.  From the .com
files that I have seen for Telesoft, it must create a library differently
using .cod files.  What exactly does the "cod" stand for????

Comparing the two compilers....which is better VAX Ada or Telesoft?

I have noticed that the VAX Ada does not like

WHEN Numeric_Error =>
     .
     .
     .
It gives the message the Numeric_Error also needs a Constraint_Error.
-----------------------------------
It doesn't even like it when it is stated in programs like this.

WHEN Constraint_Error =>
     .
     .
WHEN Numeric_Error =>

-----------------------------------

I inserted my own fudge factor by doing

WHEN Numeric_Error | Constraint_Error =>
     ..
     ..

This worked fine.

Is there a problem with the compiler, because I have noticed it giving this
error on code that I have gotten ajpo and from simtel20???
