Re: Streams in Ada

["Marin David Condic" <marin.condic.auntie.spam@pacemicro.com>]

But wouldn't that posit that there *was* an Ada95 implementation on a PDP-10
and that a Stream_Element was 36 bits?

Someone mentioned here a few days ago about the existence of PDP-10
look-alikes, but I don't think anyone has any evidence of a validated Ada95
compiler for one of them. It would sure make me nostalgic to have access to
a PDP-10 for a while & write some programs for it again. (Hmmmmmmm.......
Maybe I'll get started writing a simulator for it, just for fun & to use up
all that spare time I have..... :-)
