Re: DEC Ada 3.4 on Tru64 5.1

[Charlie McCutcheon <charlie.mccutcheon@NOSPAMcompaq.com>]

No, sorry.  DEC Ada has known problems with Tru64 5.0 and beyond.  Major
releases of the operating system tend to break the product.

I did testing suggesting that it works on the various Tru64 4.0 versions
(last 4.0G?), I'm not sure if they are still available.

On top of that, DEC Ada for Tru64 is no longer supported, it was retired over
a year ago.  (Compaq Ada is supported on OpenVMS VAX and Alpha however.)

For Ada use on Tru64, we recommend an Ada 95 vendor, such as ACT/GNAT or
Rational.
