If I understand Robert Dewar's correspondence, it could actually run on both VAX/VMS and Alpha/VMS, just that the Alpha would have to run slower that it could since it would be emulating the VAX instruction set. However, I also got the impression that porting to VMS would not be quite as easy as Unix, although it could be done. Nonetheless, there is no GNAT for any VMS, and no one appears to have announced definite plans to build one. Therefore, I think my original statement is still correct - Today, if you want Ada 9X on VMS, you are S.O.L. (sadly out of luck). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ken Garlington GarlingtonKE@lfwc.lockheed.com F-22 Computer Resources Lockheed Fort Worth Co.
