This was not at all my experience with DEC Ada on a VAX 11/785. Typical compilation times were in the range 600-1500 lpm depending on the complexity and size of the code being compiled. Perhaps somebody at your site didn't set system parameters correctly and you ended up doing a lot of paging? I love the DEC ACS environment; too bad it's not available under Ultrix. -- Dennis Doubleday dd@sei.cmu.edu Software Engineering Institute (412)268-5873 Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213
