But the "third party" Ada 95 (Rational) is only currently intended for OSF/1. "Maintenance" of DEC Ada is not currently planned to include Ada 95. DEC does not appear to be interested in supporting Ada 95 for VMS on any platform. I haven't heard of anyone else jumping into this market, although there will be at least one set of VAX-hosted cross-compilers that will support Ada 95 (Tartan). There are rumors that DEC is performing a business case study to see if a VAX-hosted Ada 95 compiler is a good idea, but no one at DEC that supports F-22 can tell us anything about it. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ken Garlington GarlingtonKE@lfwc.lockheed.com F-22 Computer Resources Lockheed Fort Worth Co.
