Now i know what you meant: Digital sold a toolset called "VAXSet" including LSE = Language Sensitive Editor DTM = Dec Test Manager SCA = Source Code Analyzer MMS = Module Management System PCA = Performance and Coverage Analyzer CMS = Code Management System >Well, at the time I was working on the fastest VMS systems available.

You're right, SCA was horrible slow, but as i can remember SCA checked things like "Does actual number and types of parameters match with defined subprogs,..." and we all know that you do not need this tool for developing in Ada. >developers each had their own DECstation, which was served off one of two of ^^^^^^^^^^^^ PS: As i can remember, the computer DIGITAL sold 9 years ago distinguished between VAXStaion ... a Workstation with a VAX processor and DECStation ... a Workstation with a MIPS processor and DEC Ultrix.
