Open Ada for the MAC

Open Ada for the MAC

[Karl A. Nyberg]

I received a press release today dated 1/21/91 from Meridian concerning the
availability of this product.  It is validated, and is integated with the
Macintosh Programmers Workbench, which is supplied at no additional charge.
Requirements are a Mac Plus, SE, or II, Finger 6.01 or later, 2MB memory,
5MB disk space.  It comes on 3.5" double sided 1.0MB diskettes.  There's a
special introductory price for 60 days, like the PC version.  

For more information, contact Meridian directly at 1-800-221-2522, or
1-714-727-0700.

p.s. Is that informative enough to be non-commercial? :-)

I just received it this week; will be installing it later this morning. I'll
post comments to the net as they occur to me. 

I got this by returning my PC version (I really have no PC, price was right so
I bought it thinking I'd buy a cheap PC to run it on). I tried to unload it
locally, but any real PC buyers already had it. I talked Meridian into swapping
PC for Mac version for me and they were very cooperative.
