It's been many years since I've been involved with DEC Ada, but I have passed on your message to the developers. Issues Addressed by DEC Ada Version 3.3 ... o Problem with passing mechanism for exported programs DEC Ada was incorrectly using a dope vector instead of an VAX descriptor for the string parameter in the program being exported. Since a DEC Ada program is exported to be used in a mixed-language environment, a VAX descriptor should have been used. This problem has been corrected. -- Steve Lionel mailto:lionel@quark.zko.dec.com Fortran Development http://www.digital.com/info/slionel.html Digital Equipment Corporation 110 Spit Brook Road, ZKO2-3/N30 Nashua, NH 03062-2698 "Free advice is worth every cent" For information on Digital Fortran, see http://www.digital.com/info/hpc/fortran/
