Not at all.

Meridian is the only one currently producing Ada for the MacOS, but there
are a couple dozen other companies makingor adding value (porting, etc.)
to Ada compilers. You can ftp a list of all 550-odd validated compilers
from ajpo.sei.cmu.edu. Look in public/ada-info for a file whose name begins
val-comp.hlp.<date>. The latest is probably 01Apr93.
