I'd just like to respond to this a bit. We currently are using the
old Telesoft RISCAda compiler for SUN and MIPS and ActivADA for NT
along with a beta ObjectADA for NT so I'm not unfamiliar with 
TSP compilers. In my opinion the quality and features of the NT
products is nowhere near that of the TELESOFT one. I'm talking
about environment here, the code generators, etc. are no doubt
great but in terms of a graphical ADA development environment
nothing beats ARCS and RISCAda for interfacing to the library,
editing, pretty printing. I'd like to see the NT compilers 
going in that direction instead of the M$VC style of GUI
which IMHO is not suitable for ADA.

All this not to say that I don't like ActivADA and ObjectADA,
the support from Thomson for ObjectADA (especially a beta) has
been exemplary, I guess I'm just a UNIX geek at heart.

just my 0.02.
