ABOUT THE GW-Ada/Ed-Mac DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT GW-Ada/Ed-Mac is a development environment built around the New York University (NYU) AdaEd compiler/interpreter. It allows the editing, compiling, binding and execution of Ada 83 programs. GW-Ada/Ed-Mac was supervised by Prof. Michael B. Feldman. Manuel A. Perez, a GWU doctoral student in Computer Science, is responsible for the Macintosh version, including the editor and developer shell. NYU's original README file is included in the distribution, for your information. In summary, Ada/Ed was developed several years ago, and validated under the Ada Compiler Validation Capability suite then in effect. Ada/Ed is a full-scale compiler, which generates instructions for
