I know they have an Ada/DIS product, and are marketing it; but I'm darned if I can remember how to contact them.

It was done on SGI; BUT ... a. the Version 1.1 tar.gz file gunzips okay, but has a tar error, and b. the documentation is GROSSLY incomplete. I have talked to both AdaIC and J.F. Taylor (sp?) about this, and they seem to be at odds about the documentation. J.F. Taylor said they would give AdaIC a new copy of the documentation around the middle of January, AdaIC swears they haven't seen. Maybe someone else can help them resolve their differences; I tried & failed. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin J.
