EXPLORING DYNAMIC BINDING
******************************
Richard Riehle's latest Ada article in Journal of Object-
Oriented Programming focuses on some of the issues related 
to dynamic binding. Riehle reviews the basics of Ada then 
goes on to discuss derivation classes, tagged type, scope 
and visibility, and primitive operations. Riehle also 
discusses the status of Ada both commercially and within the 
Department of Defense.

Ada NEWS FROM DDC-I, INC.
**************************
DDC-I Inc. recently announced the release of DACS-Qualified, 
an FAA qualified Ada verification tool set. DACS-Qualified 
is a set of testing tools which are used for verification of 
structural coverage in testing applications supporting both 
source level statement coverage as well as object code 
coverage. Each tool has been qualified and used for FAA 
certification of Assembly applications, Ada applications and 
Ada Run-Time systems. The tools are non-intrusive, support 
cross development and are easy to use.

DDC-I also announced support for Intel Pentium processor 
optimizations with performance improvements of the generated 
code 10-20%. The already highly optimized DDC-I Ada Cross 
Compiler Systems (DACS) now includes three improved areas: 
Unsegmented Flat Mode, Pentium Specific Optimizations, and 
General Optimizations. For more information on the product,
