Hmmm. I checked the Oct. 92 validated compiler list, and indeed the
compiler you mentioned seems to be gone. IBM seems to be concentrating
on their RISC 6000 line now. The good news is that Alsys has a
compiler for VM/CMS.

The compiler list is available by anonymous ftp from ajpo.sei.cmu.edu,
directory public/info-ada. The file is called val-comp.hlp.<date>;
the latest would be val-0comp.hlp.01Dec92. The list gives not only
all validated compilers but also names and phone numbers of contacts
at all the vendors. A useful document.

The IBM VM/CMS compiler was written by TeleSoft. I wonder if TeleSoft
has gotten back the rights to sell it, now that IBM seems to have 
dropped it?

Good luck.
