Not one of the ten companies below is the least distinguished, nor are
their products particularly distinguished.

Intermetrics is famous for peddling C++ at the expense of Ada, and McKee
Consulting, well, just look at the owners resume on csn.net -- what a joke.

| Ada 95 PRODUCTS TO BE DEVELOPED THROUGH ATIP-P PROGRAM
| 
| Ten private sector companies have been awarded contracts 
| through the Ada Technology Insertion Program-Partnership 
| (ATIP-P). Spearheaded by the Department of Energy�s Idaho 
| National Engineering Laboratory (INEL), ATIP-P is part of a 
| broad effort mounted by the Defense Information Systems 
| Agency�s Ada Joint Program Office (AJPO) to stimulate 
| utilization of Ada 95 within the government, academic, 
| industrial, and research communities.  
| 
| Awarding of the contracts completes the AJPO�s competitive 
| initiative to partner with proposing organizations to 
| equally share (50/50) in the funding and commercialization 
| of Ada 95 products. Products developed through the 
| partnerships will increase the availability of Ada 95 tools 
| and plug many technology gaps to successfully implement Ada 
| 95. Products are expected to be available in 1996. 
|
