Alsys and TeleSoft merged a while back, and threfore I would not be surprised if Alsys-ers and TeleSoft-ers were not immediately familiar with the ins, outs, and idiosyncracies of each others' compilers. It is not clear to me at this point just which compilers have survived the merger; certainly some of TeleSoft's tools (TeleUse, etc.) are still on the market, and there are other compilers "out there" that OEM the TeleSoft front end. Both TeleSoft and Alsys compilers are written in Ada. Hmmm - will they compile each other? How's that for a stress test? :-) Mike Feldman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael B.
