- So I know, someone try to port ADAED to the acorn Archimedes.
- It's a tokenizer/executor for the ADA language, but it's currently not
- validated (but it's earlier validated).
- If don't know, how much memory it will want, if it will be ready, but there
- is a IBM-PC-version of ADAED, so I hope, the memory-requirement will not
- be too much ....
