- COMPILATION
- -----------
- A VMS command file was created from the ordered list of compilation
- units provided in SPELLER_CMP.DIS.
-
- We were able to recompile SPELLER with only minor changes in three files.
- Errors occurred due to inconsistent usage of "in" between subprogram
- specifications and bodies. The use of the CURRENT_EXCEPTION
- package that is provided with the DG Ada compiler was eliminated.
-
- In file MANAGER_BODY,
- line 656 deleted "in" to match specification
- line 770 deleted "in" to match specification

- EXECUTION
- ---------
- We were able to execute the SPELLER and it appeared to be in workable
- condition. The following problems were noted:
-
- 1. The help file HELP_FILE.INI was not included in the source and
- should be distributed.
-
- 2. SPELLER is designed to prompt the user and receive a single-character
- response. The DEC TEXT_IO implementation issues a CR LF between a
- put and a get and a get is not serviced until a CR LF is entered (i.e.
- buffered IO).
