- Release notes for Ada/Ed-C 1.11.2 Sept 30, 1992
-
- - Fixes for most bugs reported (see bug.log and bugs directory)
-
- - A new round-robin option for tasking (currently the only method is a
- run until blocked scheduling model) (see -r option on adaexec)
- plus an additional tasking trace option. (see the -ts option of adaexec)
-
- - Config information built in for additional machines.
- The config.h now contains entries to support the following machines.
-
- See the special notes in the README file for additional changes
- necessary to compile for the following targets.
-
- Silicon Graphics IRIS running IRIX
- Sun3 running SunOS
- Sun Sparcstation running SunOS
- RS6000/AIX
- Decstation running ULTRIX
- VAX running BSD 4.3 UNIX
- 386/DOS machines (with at least 2 megabytes of RAM)
-
- - Changes to options for adabind, adaexec and adalib.
- To make the way a Ada program library is specified more consistent for
- all the phases, the "-l" has been added to adabind, adaexec and adalib
- as the way of specifying the library file instead of as the last argument
- on the command line. For backwards compatibilty the old way of specifying
- a library will be kept but not documented.
-
- - Inclusion of a directory of demo programs. These include some of the
- prior release of the PC version of Ada/Ed-C verison 1.7 and also
- demos from the release of the original SETL version of Ada/Ed from 1983.
- Also include is Mike Feldman's portable dining philopshopers program.
- A readme and scripts to run the programs are included.
-
- - Removal of warnings when building predef.
- The useless messages pretaining to the node and symbol count for the
- predefined units have all been suppressed.
-
- - Note: programs must be recompiled from the previous version of Adaed-C
- due to incompatibilites of format.
-
- - For 386/DOS version:
-
- - The options to Ada/Ed are now case insensitive (for DOS version only).
-
- - Ada/Ed-C should now be compatible with the following DOS memory managers
- and operating environments:
-
- Qualitas 386MAX V6.0/V6.01d
- DOS 5.0's EMM386
- DOS 5.0 DOS=HIGH
- Quarterdeck's QEMM-386 V6.00 and higher
- Helix Software's NETROOM V2.2
-
- - DASC (Dewar's Advanced Syntax Checker) is now distributed with the DOS
- version.
-
- - Ada/Ed-C (DOS version) was compiled with the INTEL 386/486 Code Builder C
- compiler. The executables for Ada/Ed-C are provided so there is no need
- to compile the sources.
-

- numerous suggestions and bug reports and his promoting of Ada/Ed-C.
