Anyone who knows where I can > get it, and what it's for, please e-mail me An Ada compiler is a program that translates the Ada programming language to the language of your machine, in this case a PC, so that it can run programs written in Ada. Ada is, in my opinion, the very best programming language because it's less error prone than other programming languages. Meridian Software Systems, who made Open Ada PC, no longer exists. However, the Open Ada PC compiler is now sold by D.C. Heath Co., 2700 N. Richardt Ave., Indianapolis, IN 46219-1186 for $66.67 plus tax and shipping.

Hoos, Sr. @ 1996-09-03 0:00 UTC (permalink / raw) Hi John, Just one small correction. Meridian merged with Verdix in about 1993, and Verdix merged with Rational in 1994. Last time I talked to them the (former) Meridian folks were handling sales and some development on the VADS NT product. Whether this is still true, I don't know. -- David C.

It didn't work too well from what I heard, however, since it's no longer available the point is mute. You might want to visit our WEB site and see what your current choices are in a PC Ada marketplace. The address is "http://www.pcada.com". After Meridian got bought and then Verdix got bought, the PC compiler dropped by the wayside and the nice folks up there started sending their students to us. If you want to write Ada programs for DOS or Windows, use a DOS or Windows environment with Ada sensitive tools and "ready-made" libraries, and even visual design tools and CBT Ada tutorials, you can find what you want. Stop by and browse around. Brochures are "online" and "demo disks" can be easily downloaded with a link to our FTP Site. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to ask! -- Jim Dorman Active Engineering Technologies, Inc.
