Yes, Robert I agree, but even the Free Software Foundation, doesn't
dare to call it more than a "translator" (see bulletin).
It at least shares the back end of GCC, which isn't famous for its
optimization. To say it clearly, it's strictly for the birds.
Please do not bore super users with GCC or GNAT, as they are not relevant
in this area. The theme was "ADA on the super".
On supers every nanosecond counts.
Believe me there is no such thing like a free ADA compiler.
Free software is worth every cent you pay for it.
I use commercial strength Alsys ADA (now Aonix) for several years.
I see the term "number of rather peculiar ramblings" as an offense.
Perhaps you should restrict your postings to the flame-newsgroups.
Faithfully,
Alexander
