- Hmmm. I checked the Oct. 92 validated compiler list, and indeed the
- compiler you mentioned seems to be gone. IBM seems to be concentrating
- on their RISC 6000 line now. The good news is that Alsys has a
- compiler for VM/CMS.
-
- The compiler list is available by anonymous ftp from ajpo.sei.cmu.edu,
- directory public/info-ada. The file is called val-comp.hlp.<date>;
- the latest would be val-0comp.hlp.01Dec92. The list gives not only
- all validated compilers but also names and phone numbers of contacts
- at all the vendors. A useful document.
-
- The IBM VM/CMS compiler was written by TeleSoft. I wonder if TeleSoft
- has gotten back the rights to sell it, now that IBM seems to have
- dropped it?
-
- Good luck.
