Er, well, rest assured that 'the company' made no such
claim.  The actual press release contained some suitable
adjective, like "virtually", which somehow was dropped
by the press.  But hey, if they're going to screw up our
press releases, I'm glad it's in our favor.  (At least
they didn't say:  ObjectAda includes the full Ada 95 core
language and will compile no Ada 83 code without changes...)
