Yes, Aetech has been gone for quite a while. After their demise, one of
their former employees ended up with the software. We (RR Software)
licensed the programming environment from him, and renamed it JAWS II.
It's still found in Janus/Ada, although it is unmaintainable (because we
didn't get the source code, and apparently no one has it anymore). We're
working on replacing it with a Claw program.
