Wew recently took delivery of version 1.0 of the Alsys
ADA compiler for the AT.  Needless to say, there are
problems.

1. The batch file used to startup the ADAD environment
   is totally screwed.  It contains statements like:

    COPY C:\COMMAND.COM\alsys\adadrive.ext d:
    C:\COMMAND.COM\alsys\heap D:

  These should be

    cd c:\alsys
    copy adadrive.ext d:
    heap d:
    path c:\

2. I tried to run the stupidest, most limited tasking application
   possible, and it blew up with all kinds of fatal COMPILER errors,
   NONE OF WHICH ARE DOCUMENTED.  We're talking internal errors,
   not syntax, stuff like
   
      ****DAT  INTERNAL ERROR  RETURN_TYPE

I would appreciate hearing from anybody that might have an answer to these
problems (I am also going to get in touch with alsys).

I would also like to get some kind of discussion going about this
compiler, either in the net.micro.pc group or the net.lang.ada group
or directly through email.
