Message-ID: <2350@draken.nada.kth.se> Date: 20 Nov 89 15:06:44 GMT Reply-To: matsl@nada.kth.se (Mats Luthman) Organization: Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden List-Id: Is Ada a suitable implementation language if you are going to develop a fairly large program that you want to run on many different systems? Are there Ada compilers for all major operating systems (IBM systems, VMS, all UNIX systems, MS-DOS and extended memory (4 Mbyte and more, maybe generating 386 code), OS/2)? Is there a greater chance of finding a C++ compiler than an Ada compiler on a randomly chosen system? Are the Ada compilers on UNIX good (fast, error free et.c.)? Which SUN computers have Ada compilers? Do these compilers come with X Window (and, on SUNs, Sunview) interfaces? Mats Luthman
