Price. The representatives here (in the Netherlands) quote a price of UKpound 5000 (about US$ 6500); which compares strange with prices for other validated compilers (most about US$ 25000), and with the Telesoft Vax subset compiler: UKpound 8000 (US$ 10000) in December 1983. Is someone able to enlighten me? 2. Speed. How fast is it (compilation and execution). More specific, how many full-time Ada programmers will comfortably served by such a compiler on a Sun. Moreover, what do you expect if most of the programs will use floating-point. 3. Buggy? Is the compiler buggy, and if so, how fast are errors corrected. How is it with the Ada run-time system? How active is support from Telesoft? 4. Tasking. How are tasks handled. First, are they executed in round-robin fashion, or in a stacklike manner. Second, execute tasks until they cannot go any further, or is there some form of time-slicing between tasks. Answers by mail will be summarised on the net.
