Hi,
Is there a kind soul out there who would grant me access to their (HECnet connected)
Itanium-based VMS system so that I can play with some of their compilers (particularly a
more modern version of Ada to that available on VMS 7.3 on VAX architecture)?
At some point, based on what I discover, I may even be tempted to buy one of the
entry-level Itanium servers for real. I can't explain why I'm not that interested
in Alpha other than that I'm perhaps a bit weird.
Hopefully someone can help... with the access, not the weirdness :)
Regards,
Keith

I can't help with this just yet, but I should be able to in a couple
of days, possibly as soon as this weekend. I'm just getting one of my
systems running.

As far as I know, the only version of Ada that is newer than what?s on VAX/VMS 7.3 is a
rather old version of GNAT for OpenVMS/Alpha.
I?d love to be proven wrong. :-)
It looks like the GNAT on my OpenVMS/Alpha 8.3 system was probably built on OpenVMS 7.1
and is based on gcc 2.8.1.
