As I recall Meridian Ada 83 on the Mac gave at least a one line
traceback telling where in the source code the exception occured.  Alsys
ActivAda Ada 83 on Windows similarly, Janus Ada 83 and 95 on PCs a full
traceback with source line references.  Why is it so hard for brand new
compilers to do what old ones have long done?  Have source code
references and long tracebacks been traditional or not on Unix
platforms?
