- INSTALLATION
- ------------
-
- 1. You can copy the "Ada" script file to C: or wherever you wish. It
- simply makes the ADA: assignment which is referenced by the compiler
- to find Ada:lib. You should modify the script to point to wherever
- you install the binaries.
-
- 2. After executing "Ada" you should be able to "cd ada:examples" and
- type "hello.script" which should compile and execute. Several examples
- are included, all having ".script" files to compile and execute them.

- MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
- -------------------
-
- 1. Only NUMERIC constants supported appear to be FLOAT and INTEGER.
- This shows up as "unsupported kind n" where n=
- CONST_OM 0
- CONST_INT 1
- CONST_REAL 2
- CONST_STR 3
- CONST_RAT 4
- CONST_CONSTRAINT_ERRO 5
- CONST_UINT 6
- CONST_FIXED 7
-
- 2. PRAGMA INTERFACE does not work yet.
-
- 3. A fairly consistent error shows up as "root arg of null". Don't
- know what it means, but it's consistent across different platforms.
- There's a file "test2.ada" in the Examples which demonstrates it.
-
- 4. You can probably slide by with 1.5Meg of memory. Some of the
- examples may require 2Meg.
-
- 5. Ada:lib/predef.ada was modified slightly to include "AMIGA"
- system name.
