-
- Isn't it rather obvious that the author of this message is likely to support
- DEC Ada, (I wonder his boss reads comp.lang.ada :-) :-) )
-
- But seriously: I would agree that the DEC Ada compiler is pretty good - I use it
- every day. I would prefer to use the Alsys Ada compiler, but that is no longer
- supported by our local support team :-( the DEC Ada compile-time messages are
- very good, but it suffers from C-like run-time error-messages (this is not
- surprising since the main program of DEC Ada programs is actually in C!)
-
- The DEC Ada libraries are good, tho' I haven't tried using the X binding yet.
