interested in using DEC Ada on Vax/VMS

[Gary Blair]

Here at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory we are evaluating Ada.  We
have purchased the Telesoft Ada compiler for Vax/Unix.  However, it does
not yet support pragmas for interfacing with other languages.  This is 
something that very much concerns us, and we would like to experiment a bit.
DEC's Ada compiler, indeed their whole environment, supports mixed-languages
programming.  Question: is there someone out there in netland with 1) a Vax
running VMS, 2) an Ada compiler running on this system, and 3) extra
cycles they might be willing to give away/sell?  Please note, this is NOT,
repeat NOT, a solicitation for bids or anything else of that nature.  I am
merely trying to determine if there is a mechanism, short of actually buying
DEC's compiler (which I understand is VERY good), whereby we can gain access
to one.  Please send information directly to me.  Thanks in advance.
