[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Meridian Open Ada for the Mac

MM0F@NS.CC.LEHIGH.EDU (Mary Elizabeth Rudis) (03/04/91)

Has anyone had experience with the new Meridian Open Ada development
system for the Mac?  The literature claims that it comes bundled w/
MPW, has library and management facilities, implements the Mac
toolbox fully, and is a fully validated Ada compiler ==> for $150.00.

Before I invest (OK, $150 isn't much for what's in the deal) my
$$$ and development efforts, I was hoping that someone could give
me a 'first hand' description of the system => e.g. how good the
toolbox interface is, compile/link speeds, MPW compat., etc.
Also, I believe it allows for an interface to C.  Since I use
THINK C as my current development environment (by decree, not choice
:>) I was hoping that it might contain an interface to it as well
(I'm assuming that it interfaces to MPW C)

Post replies here or to:

P.S. The comment "by decree, not choice" means that I don't like 'C'
that much, but the THINK environment goes a long way in making 'C'
usable.
