The Meridian literature that I received also describes an AdaStarter version
"identical to the validated v2.1 AdaVantage compiler" but with limitations of
up to ten library units, each of up to 200 executable statements. Price
applicable toward purchase of the production compiler. $99.

Yes, $99. I don't know if this is shipping, but it's descibed in the same
literature as the big version.
