Description:	Ada 9X student starter compiler/interpreter. AVLAda9X is a prototype Ada 9X student compiler/interpreter. Its goal is to provide a small Ada 9x compiler/translator that is easy to install and has good performance for compilation and interpretation.
Conformance:	Grammar conforms to Ada 9X version 5.0 (DIS 8652-9X, June 1994);
Reference:	RM9X;5.0 (ftp://ajpo.sei.cmu.edu/public/ada9x/rm9x/v5.0/rm9x.doc)
Features:	The version being released allows separate compilation of package specs and bodies. The tasking model is working with simple tasking constructs including the use of protected units and tasks with discriminants as shown within the enclosed example programs.
Bugs:	Some problems with generics. Future work will focus on OOP and generics. It is expected that the completed work will allow the use of most of the Ada 9X constructs.
