We used the TLD Ada compiler on the Huygens project for ESA. This used
MAS281 SOS implementations of 1750A.

Speaking for myself, I was disappointed in the compiler, and in the
support we got. However, despite being a mission critical high profile
application I guess that when "push comes to shove" we were only a
single licence fee.

Be interested in your experiences.
