The status of VMS has not changed in that regard, except that those who pay for the source listings now get them on CDROM, not Microfiche. > There is now a port called > OpenVMS. There was no "port" of VMS called OpenVMS. OpenVMS is a marketing term introduced about 1992 which was not indicative of any new coding (except for changing the default banner displayed when you log in). > As for the VMS version of Ada RTL written in Bliss, that > also proves my point of no "Ada only Run-Time System". If by "no Ada only Run-Time system" you mean "no Run-Time system written in Ada", you use a poor choice of word. > An Alpha with GEM, well the Alpha was created in 1992. Not at the > birth of Ada. But again GEM means no "Ada only Run-Time System". GEM is a code generator, not a run time library: Directory SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB] ADARTL.EXE;1 DEC$BASRTL.EXE;1 DEC$COBRTL.EXE;1 DEC$FORRTL.EXE;2 PAS$RTL.EXE;1 Total of 5 files.
