The University of Illinois at Chicago has Telesoft Ada in the testing stage.
One thing that I have been having trouble with is the GET_STRING function
which, so far, has not returned a string. The only Ada source we have is the
test code which checks the compiler for consistency with the DOD definition
and an 18 line program that adds a couple of numbers read from the terminal
and writes the answer to the terminal.

Telesoft Ada creates huge executable modules on our system (IBM 3081k).
Not too many people have used the compiler yet since it has not been released
to the general user community. Only the exec's to run the compiler on the
source code and to load and run the result have gotten someone involved in the
compiler. It is still rather new to us.
