This rumour is founded on an incorrect extrapolation of what we are doing.

Digital and Rational have announced that they are partnering for Ada'95, with
Rational making the Alpha OSF/1 platform their premier platform.

The Digital Ada 83 product is still being maintained and is selling very
well, besides which we have major commitments to customers w.r.t. this
product.

We are looking at the business case for putting Ada'95 on VMS, and at the best
ways of satisfying the customer needs here.

For more detailed information, you should contact the product manager,
axel@sdtpmm.dec.com.
