Wow! That's quite a restriction.

I suspect what you mean to say here is that the Verdix compiler only permits
parameters of mode "in" when interfacing to C or Fortran. That is the
restriction the old VADS-based compiler I have used had.

That is an annoyance, but its certianly not fatal. That is, after all, the way
C passes parameters. It doesn't seem to have deterred many people from using C
compilers! :-)

It would be nice to have a more convienent interface, but I certianly
wouldn't change compilers over it. Of course VADS is only Ada83. That's a
good reason to change.

T.E.D.
