The list of dead Silicon Valley companies who spread themselves too thin by failing to concentrate on their core business and their paying customers is long and depressing. ACT, and other Ada compiler publishers can do more for Ada by providing excellent products and service to a few satisfied customers. This appears to be the philosophy of ACT, and we see some wisdom in it. In time, when an inventory of Ada success stories is available for public release, those of us involved in tool building, or compiler building, or training, or consulting, or applications building will have the satisfaction of our contribution, big or small, to those successes.
