It's probably history now, but I think DEC's decision not to upgrade their
Ada 83 compiler / debugger / linker / editor and library mgmt tools to Ada
95 was one of the dummest decisions ever made by DEC (and they made a few).
Everyone liked and respected the DEC Ada products. The smart recompilation
was ahead of it's time.
I would suggest many users would have bought an Ada 95 version running on
Alpha & VMS. Instead DEC just went into (terminal !) hibernation.
It's a bit late now I suppose ...
