Hello

We tested DEC Ada 3.3 but we also ran into Problems.
We are passing AST_ENTRY's to non ADA functions. With the old compiler
(V3.0.7) it worked fine. With the new one we get a zero value in the
call. I try to reproduce the with a small test program, but as usuall it
worked there.
An other department also tried the new compiler and decided to stay at
the old one (I don't know the exact reason).

I heard some rumors, tha the main Ada people left DEC.
