From the discussions, it appears to meet this year's (or 84?) validation requirements. I don't recall if it was validated or is in the process. It will be supported by the new VMS version 4.0 language sensitive editor and (screen !!) debugger. > The Verdix Ada compiler is written in 'C' > and the Telesoft Ada compiler is written in 'Pascal' (hence the speed > difference). This definately seems to be your personal opinion of the difference between C and Pascal. Except for Berkeley Pascal, I have found Pascal speed virtually identical to C. Telesoft Ada is written in Telesoft Ada, and the reason it is slow is that Telesoft Ada uses pseudo-code. This allows for portability and is why Telesoft Ada is available on more machines than any other Ada. It also means you can have a validated Ada on an IBM-pc (not a subset).
