I desperately need Open Ada PC ... | It is an Ada compiler. Whatever that | is. ... Anyone who knows where I can | get it, and what it's for, please e-mail me |

An Ada compiler is a program that translates the Ada programming | language to the language of your machine, in this case a PC, so that it | can run programs written in Ada. Ada is, in my opinion, the very best | programming language because it's less error prone than other programming| languages. |
Meridian Software Systems, who made Open Ada PC, no longer exists. | However, the Open Ada PC compiler is now sold by D.C. Heath Co., 2700 N. | Richardt Ave., Indianapolis, IN 46219-1186 for $66.67 plus tax and | shipping. | Phone 800-334-3284, 800-428-8071, 317-359-5585, or 617-862-6650, | fax 800-824-7390. |
For more information about Ada, visit the Web or FTP site below my | signature and download my Ada Tutor program. |
You'll like programming in Ada, and you'll find the people here in | comp.lang.ada eager to help. |

and Ferranti Atlas Autocode in the 1960's.
