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). -- Lennart Atternaes Ericsson Telecom AB Dep.
