OS/2 text editors with CHILL support
- jEdit - Java based editor - CHILL syntax highlighting built in - Current
Links & publications
- The official specifiaction from CCITT - Downloadable in PDF format
- Alton L. Brintzenhoff, Steven W. Christensen, David T. Moore and J. Marc Stonebraker: Evaluation of Ada as a Communications Programming Language - 1981 - Examines the usefulness of Ada vis a vis CHILL.
