Is there an archive of public Ada software on SIMTEL20?
If there is, could somebody give me an idea of how to
access it. Thanks.

In following up message by Koolish@bbn.com (Dick Koolish) regarding the
request of info on archive Ada on SIMTEL20, I would like to ask if someone
knows how to get the MIT public domain Ada compiler on PC-based machines,
please let me know. Thanks.

I am unaware of an MIT PD Ada compiler, but NYU sells one for about $50 (as
of 1987 - my last contact with them). Write Ada Project, New York
University, Courant Institute, 251 Mercer Street, New York, NY 10012.
The compiler is very slow, and I don't think much development has been put
into it over the last few years (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
A much better deal, recently announced, would be to purchase Meridian's
AdaStudent for $50. Without turning this too much into a plug, it is their
full Ada compiler (Real Mode only) + Debugger, but without their DOS or
AdaUtility packages, and without the ability to distribute code across
multiple libraries (although instructors can get a special diskette to set up
multiple libraries for students).
