This is insulting. You have to realize that there are people out
here that have serious problems that cost their employer a lot of
money. Of course we have sent reports to the vendor, however, my
employer would rather buy a more expensive compiler rather than
having the employees working part time for the Verdix cooperation
debugging their software. If there aren't any better Ada
compilers we of course have to change back to fortran (or C if we dare
changing language one more time).
