FREE Ada Compilers
DATE: September 20, 1991
If your institution currently offers courses in the Ada programming
language, we would like to list information about those courses in our
Catalog of Resources for Education in Ada and Software Engineering
(CREASE), Version 6.0, and in our on-line database of Ada Education
Resources. There is no charge for your institution to be listed in
our catalog or in our database.
Additionally, if your institution would be interested in receiving
a FREE Ada compiler, we would like to hear from you. Our sponsoring
agency, the Ada Joint Program Office, is investigating the
possibility of providing free Ada compilers to educational institutions.
To be included in the CREASE and to be on the list of parties
interested in receiving a free Ada compiler, complete the attached
survey and return it to the AdaIC at the address given below no later
than October 15, 1991. If you would like a hard copy of the survey,
