	York's ADA compiler summary
	---------------------------

	Thanks  to  those  who  answered,  we  are  now going to order a
	compiler  and  will  try  to use it on a small course later this
	spring. If any interesting happen i will summarize to the net.

	Here  follows  a  short collection of the answers, (edited by me
	though).

Mike Williams (mike@erix.UUCP) (enea!erix!mike)

	The  York Ada compiler is distributed to commercial institutions
	outside  the  UK  by  SPL international. As far as I remember it
	costs about 10 000 USD and the 1 000 USD per year in sweden.

	I  believe  that  it  might be possible for you to get a cheaper
	academic   license   if   you   talk directly to York.

	Address:
	University  of  York - Dept of Computer Science,
	Heslington York
	Y01  5DD UK
	(tel 00944 / 904 59 861)
	Contact Dr Ian Wand or Prof Ian  Pyle.


	We  had  a  preliminary  version  on  our  machine  (erix at L M
	ERICSSON) but it was full of bugs. 

Comment:
	We did contact the University directly and it seems they have a
	NONE commercial license for 150 GBP.

	The address of the mother company for the commercial
	distribution is:

	SPL International
	Research Center
	The Charter
	Abingdon
	Oxon UK
	OX14 3LZ
	Tel (UK) 0235-24112
	Telex 83164

	We  had release 0 of the UNIX version (the other one is for VMS)
	on  trial  a  while  back. It was rather flakey, but the code it
	eventually  produced  seemed  all  right.  Release  1,  which is
	hopefully  better,  is  now  available.  It is *very* expensive,
	though, this not being the fault of the guys at York, but rather
	because  Maggie  seems to think that selling software is one way
	to get the British economy back on its feet...

	This subset of ADA (without generics) is slow. I wrote a program
	to  print  "Hello,  world" which took several minutes to compile
	and resulted in over 50K of object code.
