X-Antivirus: Avast (VPS 210729-2, 29/7/2021), Outbound message
X-Antivirus-Status: Clean
 by: calliet gérard - Thu, 29 Jul 2021 15:40 UTC

Hello,

I'm not an archeologist. Somewhere in the world they use VAX/VMS 5.5-H2,
and for again a long time. I'll be retired when they'll stop the servers.

So I'm training new guys who will do the job.

I try to help them take the job as fun as possible.

We learn this year Dec ADA

I need :
- a distribution
- buying a license

Anyone knows where I can get these things?

Gérard Calliet

Try VMS Software:
https://vmssoftware.com/contact/

They're doing the port of OpenVMS to x86, and have a suite of software they're updating [IIRC they also have existing support contracts for VMS, so might know where to get it]; it would probably be good to call them and tell them your company would like Ada support in the port, too.
(It certainly can't hurt to signal that there's interest there.)

No idea if the Ada compiler is installed. My prior employer was running
a version of VMS on some Windows server, no doubt via emulator -- after
replacing the ancient VAX systems. It was needed to support an ancient
(non-DEC) Ada cross compiler for 680xx processors. (Yes, the Boeing* 737
flies on 68040 CPUs <G>)

https://blog.poggs.com/2020/04/21/openvms-on-a-raspberry-pi/

Unfortunately, I think /that/ free version of OpenVMS has been
discontinued.

As you have commented, the hobbyist license program was terminated last
year and many people are now unable to use any system which required LMF
(VMS 5.0 and above).

But doesn't provide licenses to activate...

VSI does'nt do anything for VAX environments (alpha, itanium, x86
(soon), yes, VAX, no). And HPE seems to have totally abandonned VMS.

THE Big Issue. I'm calling them since 2015, some other are calling them
now. They hesitate. I think because the ratio: number of business cases
/ investment is not so good.

(I'm myself involved on Ada on VMS : www.vmsadaall.org)

You might consider contacting AdaCore (sales@adacore.com I believe). I remember that quite a number of things
were added to the GNAT compiler for compatibility with Dec Ada. The biggest difficulty is likely to be the build
process (and we have related discussions on some other thread in this forum), because Dec Ada's notion of systems
and subsystems is quite different from what GNAT does. But AdaCore has some experience on the subject
