[comp.lang.ada] Compilers for IBM/CMS

dirk@kulcs.uucp (Dirk Craeynest) (03/10/88)

The list of validated Ada compilers has the following four entries for IBM
mainframes running CMS.  We would appreciate receiving opinions on quality,
cost, support, extra tools, etc., of users of one (or more) of these compilers.

The most important point for us is that the Ada system would be used for student
exercises (roughly 150 students, max. 30-40 compilations at the same time).

Thanks in advance.

Four weeks ago, I asked for opinions on validated Ada compilers for IBM
mainframes running CMS.  Until today, I've received not a single answer.
I can't believe there aren't any users of one of these systems out
there...

My question was:

>The list of validated Ada compilers has the following four entries for
>IBM mainframes running CMS.  We would appreciate receiving opinions on
>quality, cost, support, extra tools, etc., of users of one (or more) of
>these compilers.
>
>The most important point for us is that the Ada system would be used
>for student exercises (roughly 150 students, max. 30-40 compilations at
>the same time).
