I haven't seen him post in quite some time.), did anyone finally do the port? One variant of our AdaMagic Ada 95 front end uses optimized ANSI C as its intermediate representation. This would be one way to get Ada code onto the 8051. The run-time system would be a challenge, but you could be careful to only use the pieces of the run-time you really need, and you would probably be able to get something useful running. Let me know if you would be interested in investigating this technology further as a possible solution to your needs. > > -Brian -- -Tucker Taft stt@avercom.net http://www.avercom.net Chief Technology Officer, AverCom Corporation (A Titan Company) Burlington, MA USA (AverCom was formerly the Commercial Division of AverStar: http://www.averstar.com/~stt)
