Based on presentations by DEC and Rational which I attended, it is my
understanding that DEC and Rational have set up a teaming agreement, so
that Rational will develop, among other things, an Ada 95 compiler for
DEC. Apparently, DEC has decided that Ada 95 toolsets are not a
reasonably viable product for them to produce on their own, which is a
very different concept from declaring the language itself to not be
viable. Both Rational and DEC have said they are commited to Ada, and
that Rational is in a better position than DEC to develop such toolsets.
