Re:    Validation of first Ada "compiler"
From:  Paul D. Stachour <watbun!pdstachour>
 
John Goodenough, of SofTech (the organization that wrote the ACVC)
announced last week that the New York University Ada/Ed translator
(an interpreter written in SETL, a very high-level and inefficiently
interpreted language) had passed version 1.1 of the ACVC.

[I think ACVC is Ada Compiler Validation <something>, a set of Ada programs
 similar in purpose to the Pascal test suites which, when compiled by a
 given compiler and run, should produce known output if the compiler is
 working properly.  Anyone know what the last 'C' stands for?]
