Jerry, while I don't work on a Vax running VMS at the moment, I do
know from years of experience that there are significant problems in
almost all operating systems in mixing languages, due to the general
defficiency in the definition of the run-time environment of the system.
If you'd like to look at the classical example that mixes languages very
well, look at the Multics Programmer's Reference Manual (Honeywell Order
number AG91). Given that Multics was designed and built in the late
60's/early 70's, itsn't it interesting that almost no operating systems
built since then have been able to also solve the same problem?
Yours for better using of software and software engineering,
Paul Stachour
P.S.: I wonder if those designing and building APSE's are making them
adequate to other languages (lisp?) as well as Ada. Cheers, ...Paul
