We are running VMS 6.2 on Alpha's with multiple processors. We can't
upgrade to VMS 7.1 now due to our customer's constraints (it's a large
system with peripherals that are not yet ready for VMS 7.1 (drivers,
etc.)).

We are using DEC Ada 3.3 for AXP, and our current problem is that we
cannot use multiple processors for the Ada tasks in a single Ada
program. We do not want to split the application into multiple
programs/processes because that would be too much work.

I know that GNAT for VMS/alpha is soon to be released, but for VMS 7.1.
We would be ready to change to GNAT, but we can't do the 7.1 upgrade
now.

Is there really no way (perhaps by changing the Ada run time library ?)
to make a single Ada program on VMS 6.2/alpha use multiple processors ?

Thanks for any answers/suggestions
