Subject: Ada Compilers for the Apple Macintosh OS

I happen to enjoy using Apple Macintoshes as software engineering
workstations. I would also like to do everything I can to encourage
Ada compiler vendors to consider the Macintosh as a viable platform
for an Ada compiler. Currently, Meridian Software is the only Ada
compiler vendor which has an Ada compiler available under the original
Macintosh OS. Alsys and TeleSoft have Ada compilers which run on
Macintosh IIs under Apple's version of U*IX (A/UX).

Recently, I have been contacted by a number of different Ada compiler
vendors who were considering developing Ada compilers for the
Macintosh under the original OS. They wanted answers to the following
questions:

   1. Who is interested in Ada compilers which run on Macintoshes
      under the original Macintosh OS?

   2. What criteria are the most important in the possible selection
      of such compilers?

   3. If such compilers were available, how many would you, or your
      organization, be likely to purchase?

If you have answers to these questions, please send them to me and I
will post a summary on the net. (I already have a number of responses
from other newsgroups which I will also include in the summary.)
