If you have developed a lot of code in Ada for VAX/VMS, then you can continue
to compile it with the same compiler that you have for the last 10 years, and
which is still being maintained.

If you want to reuse that code in an Ada'95 environment on a VMS system,
then it probably is not a VAX system, but an Alpha one.  As I said in my
earlier post, we are still investigating the business case for Ada'95 on
VMS to try to determine the best thing to do.

If you want to reuse it on a Ada'95 Alpha OSF system, then how to best support
you in doing that is still being studied, both here and at Rational.
