Tom, I'm currently using the IntegrAda compiler/environment. It is
based on Janus/Ada, and is a validated compiler. The compilation
speed on an AT is good, the diagnostics are fair, it supports something like
a reducing linker ("remove unused subprograms"), and I've been compiling
several things with it which were originally developed under other platforms
(DEC Ada and Verdix Ada) without changing any of the source code.
The environment, with an integrated editor, pop-up LRM-style help, multiwindows,
etc. is nice in many respects, but is not 100% mature yet. Of course, like
all Ada products, it is still evolving. Regardless, I am pleased with it.
The compiler can be invoked from within the environment or outside the
environment. I think it would be slow on anything less than an AT.
It takes a large TPA (over 500K), and a RAM disk helps (it can make use of it).
Rick
