Message-ID: <8602072016.AA15640@ucbvax.berkeley.edu> Date: Fri, 7-Feb-86 14:23:26 EST Article-I.D.: ucbvax.8602072016.AA15640 Posted: Fri Feb 7 14:23:26 1986 Date-Received: Tue, 11-Feb-86 04:33:18 EST Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The ARPA Internet List-Id: In the Feb. 86 issue of Byte, there is an ad for the Artek Ada compiler for the IBM PC (or compatible) computer that runs under MS-DOS and 384K RAM. The ad also stated that the compiler implements all major features of Ada except tasking (isn't this a violation of Ada's copywrite?). It costs $895. for info: 1-800-PC-ARTEK (in New Jersey 201-867-2900) Artek Corporation 100 Seaview Dr. Secaucus, NJ 07094 Another venor is General Transformation Corporation which has an Ada compiler for the PC XT and AT. The language is supposed to be in validation REAL SOON, and costs $1000 for the XT and $1200 for the AT. for info: General Transformation Corporation P.O. Box 10083 Berkeley, CA 94709-5083 (415) 644-0702 Yet another vendor is General Systems Corporation which sells a (subset?) Ada compiler on a card for the PC, XT, and AT. I believe they use the Irvine Compiler Corporation compiler for this. Its price: $2695. for info: General Systems Corporation P.O. Box 250 Ansonia, Connecticut 06401 (203) 776-8990 (Oh yeah, there's Janus Ada for 99.00 but it doesn't really count.) As for the Macintosh, the only compiler I know of was one mentioned in the first issue of _Wheels for the Mind_ (the Apple University Consortium newsletter). It mentioned that Sedgewick (sp?) or somebody and Brown University were working on a port of an existing compiler. Anyone else know anything on this? -- Greg mac@icsc.uci.edu (I have no connection with any of these companies. I'm just waiting for the day that quality Ada compilers are available on Macintoshes for the same price as Turbo Pascal.)
