We see a lot of uninformed comment [and some informed comment] in comp.lang.ada
about the need for "a free Ada compiler for universities".

What most of these authors don't realise is that some compiler vendors such as
DIGITAL [for whom I work] have VERY substantial discounts on their Ada
compilers when sold for educational use.

So you should call your local sales rep for the company that you wish to buy
from and find out whether he is going to charge you $200 or $2000 or $20000
for that Ada compiler you want to buy AFTER YOU HAVE TOLD H[IM|ER] that you
are an educational site.
