Ada portability

[MADMATS@ELCGL.EPFL.CH ("", Mats Weber)]

In reply to what Dave Emery wrote, I must add that even if you write code 
with portability in mind, you will probably run into compiler quality 
problems if your code contains generics.
We have had major problems in this area which until now have made it 
impossible to port some quite small applications from VAX Ada to Unix with 
ANY compiler available on Unix.

In my opinion, the only two compilers I know that deserve the "validated" 
label are Rational and Vax Ada.
