SDL, the tool which DEC uses to make the first (large) cut at Ada bindings
for OS features was just made available as freeware in December.

There may be a copyright issue regarding the OS feature descriptions, but
the input to SDL ships with VMS so delivering the tool (and a post-massage
tool to fix up the results) with a compiler should work.

True, but the name of the group is comp.lang.ada not comp.os.unix. Now about
discussing solutions in Ada, I know of a very simple line counter that was
created by Rick Conn. It uses aflex and ayacc to build a lexical analyzer
and parser respectively. The tool is very customizable. I am part of a group
working to update this to Ada95 as part of our master's thesis. The project
will be completed in August. In addition, another group is working on a
domain specific kit for building Ada95 tools. I'll pass along the idea of
a line counter to them. For now, try searching the PAL for something
called Ada_parsing_tool. If you can't find it, e-mail me or Rick Conn and
I'll try to get a copy to you.

Try ASAP, Ada Static Analyzer Program, available via anonymous ftp thru 
ftp.sei.cmu.edu in /pub/dd/asap072490.tar.Z. It is written in Ada adn set 
up to compile under Dec Ada on a Vax running VMS. Gives SLOC, McCabe's, and
more...

Good Luck!

I do not know the details of which Unix commands are in the Posix standard,
but here is a sample from an unrelated posting.  In addition to the method
shown below, it is possible to configure particular user accounts so they
automatically get the Posix CLI (shell).

      Then do tar to your heart's content.  I've unpacked tarfiles
    with the un*xed extra dot's with no problem.   So, I can't say that
    it's useless --- just annoying when you're trying to unpack non-VMS
    filenames into a VMS filename space :-(     
    
      Once you've unpacked them in a container area where the 'bizarre'
    filenames are allowed, you can change the filenames into the VMS
    allowed format and move the files where you really wanted them to go.

Come On!
	Obviously, not everyone here is using the same OS. However, we're
all probably using Ada. If you can't write your own Ada program to count
the number of lines in a text file (containing, say, an ADA PROGRAM), you're
not worth your weight in salt.

I don't think it is lines (cr/lf) that is of interest to everyone. Some 
peaple want the number of Ada Constructs used. They would also like 
these grouped into meaningful categories (executive, declarative, full
line comments, in-line comments, blank lines ect...). Even though I fill 
in general most should still be able to write a program to do this , I 
don't think it whould be productive. I have the ability to write a 
compiler; but no doubt would rather have one purchased rather than use
a home grown one.

	My fault.  I had not seen the original post. I made an assumption
based on the subject line one of the messages in this thread.
	That having been said, I still think it wouldn't be difficult to
write a program that counts the different constructs used.

If the above author deems himself not worthy of dabbling in this trivial 
endeavor, is there someone else out there that would be willing to answer 
this question?

I apologize for the naive question, but since I am a s/w engineer from
a non-CS/CE background (EE), I don't have a lot of the languages 
a non CS/CE background (actually I'm an EE), I lack the lexical analysis 
background that most of you probably have...
