<<It wasn't simple minded at all. See above. It is true that a number of
features in VAX architecture and in the VMS operating system made it
easier to write an efficient C compiler, but the same argument applies
to Ada. In fact, the VMS process model fit very nicely with the Ada task
model, so tasking worked much better under VMS than any Unix system.

But was rather slow. It was interesting that Ada/Ed could beat DEC Ada 83
on a VAX for a really heavy tasking program :-)
