Now that IBM has announced "its" Ada compiler (Telesoft's Telegen2) for 
MVS and VM/CMS, some questions arise:

(1) Is it validated?  If not, when is it scheduled?

(2) Can you interface it with other IBM languages?  If so, which ones?
    (The scientific people will mostly want ForTran, the business people
    CoBOL.)

(2) Will it interface with IBM DBMSs?  If not, is this planned?  (Since 
    most business programming uses DBMSs the answer to this question 
    ought to tell us whether IBM--the pre-eminent business vendor--is 
    really serious about Ada.)
