Yes, you are.  You just have to be a little careful on the command line:

$ ty tt.ada
procedure tt is begin null; end;
$ ada tt.ada
$ acs link tt
%ACS-I-CL_LINKING, Invoking the VMS Linker for VAX_VMS target
$ run tt.exe
$

See?  No problem, but:
$
$ ada tt

 Interrupt

This hung.  You cant compile the terminal.  You have a logical name "TT" which
points to your terminal.  Do "Sho log tt".
$
$ run tt

%DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image TT
-CLI-E-IMGNAME, image file RT


Same thing happened here...
