Nope, not as I recall.  The DoD copyrighted the _name_ "Ada" (or was
that trademarked?  No matter.  It was protected.)  Anybody could write
a compiler for the Ada language but could not call it an "Ada compiler"
or say it supported the "Ada Language" unless they were granted the
right to do so by the DoD.  One way was through the DoD's Ada validation
program.  However, the DoD has now dropped its protection since Ada is
now pretty much established, so anyone can now use "Ada."  Compilers that
have passed the DoD's validation program to ensure that they adhere to
the Ada Language Specification can claim that they are a "Validated Ada
Compiler."

The use of any Amiga key in CED is implemented by CED's inputhandler,
which mappes LAMIGA to RAMIGA if the CED window is active.

CED does not work correctely if you press any SHIFT-Key and then
select a menuitem with a lowercase shortcut; it would perform
the function with the same hotkey, but uppercase. So I _think_ CED
simply looks in the qualifier field for SHIFT.

I keep hearing people mention that they have to "convert" their code to be

Intuition doesn't (intentionally) support case-sensitive
shortcuts.  Furthermore, the style guide says right-amiga-s
is for Save and right-amiga-a is for Save As...  (This is from
memory--it may say something else, but you would do well to 
follow it.)

>My problem is: lots of programs (CED as an example) has

That's not your problem, it's theirs.  Your problem is to make
your program as useable as possible.  What you should do is:
* use raw-key codes (converted through the console.device)
  to map menu keys to functions,
* use the style-guide suggestions if at all possible,
* make short-cuts only for those other menu items that are
  completely unambiguous and don't conflict with the style guide, and
* (this is the biggie) make ALL your menu items short-cut-able, and
  make ALL your short-cuts user-configurable.

Well you can't set RC unless you are creating a rexx command, which
means creating a rexx port...  if you just want to set a global value
that the rexx script can read, you could send a rexx message to the
port named "REXX" containing a rexx command to be interpreted, and in
there put a SETCLIP() call ...
 
Or you could use the Rexx Variables Interface ... I don't know how
complicated that is.

Just a guess, but it sounds like the editor can't find the compiler.
Make sure that the PATH SC: ADD statement in your startup script
occurs BEFORE the "loadwb" command if you invoked the editor from
workbench.  If you invoked from CLI, make sure SC: is on your path.

I've been trying to convert a UNIX program to the Amiga (GAWK, actually) with
Aztec C 5.2 and, so far, things have gone pretty well.  I'm now trying to get
piping to work and I'm having a problem with system() (which is how GAWK tries
to execute commands in the pipe).  It compiles and runs, but I don't think the
system() call is doing anything.  I've also noticed that the system() call is
not documented in my Aztec C documentation.  Does anyone know if the call is
supposed to work under Aztec C and what its limitations are?

According to the RKM v2.0, when you spawn a task, you can not normally pass
library base pointers (IntuitionBase, GfxBase, etc.) to the spawned task.  You
have to reopen and re-establish these base values before calling system
functions.  The ReqTools functions may not rely on calling dos functions, but
they must almost certainly call intuition functions to display the requesters. 
If the reqtools library does not reopen Intuition.library, this could be your
problem.  Try adding the following code to the routine and see if it works
then:

at the beginning:  struct Library *IntuitionBase=NULL;

                  
IntuitionBase=OpenLibrary("intuition.library",versionyouneed);


then at the end:

CloseLibrary(IntuitionBase);

In other words, pretend the new task is a completely different and new program.

I've always assumed that CED implemented its own shortcuts just using
RAWKEY; it _must_ do this to some extent to allow the use of either
