[comp.os.os9] Ada for OSK?

jimomura@lsuc.on.ca (Jim Omura) (06/11/91)

     I was discussing OSK with someone recently and the question came
up whether there was an Ada compiler for OSK.  I didn't know of any.
Is there one, or is there any work being done in that direction?

     I talked with someone at Microware about six months ago and was told
there wasn't one they knew of that ran in and was targeted for OSK.  I have
enjoyed working in the Ada language at work, however, and have begun work
on an Ada compiler.  It won't exactly be ready for distribution next week,
though!  :-)

     I'd like to hear if any has become available in the past few months.

A validated ADA compiler for OS-9 does exist from Alsys - please contact me if
you need further information.  Current hosts include VAX, Sun 3, and Sun 4;
resident development is a future possibility.
