System: TRU64 4.0F
PatchKit: 7

I had to install the old dec ada 3.40 compiler and libraries on a new system
(we're trying to replicate a software problem a customer is experiencing).
However, I discovered something disturbing. When I ran #setld -v
ADABASE340, the script hung.

Using top, I noticed that adacom was sitting there using 99.7% of the CPU.
Upon investigation, I found out that ada340 has compiling issues when used
on a EV6 processor. This was resolved with the release of adaeco341, and
adaeco342 (Reference Page:
http://ftp.support.compaq.com.au/pub/patches/Readmes/unix/adaeco342.README).

These 2 packages are no longer available from HP/Compaq. Their ADA support
is now through Rational, and they no longer have the package files available
for download.

So, does anyone have access to either adaeco341, or adaeco342? Better yet,
does anyone know of a fix/work around for this problem?

Many thanks.

-Rob
