OBJECTADA EDITIONS NOW AVAILABLE  
  
  
Thomson Software Products is now offering ObjectAda for   
Windows.  The new product is an object-oriented Ada 95   
development environment featuring Ada 95 compilers validated   
to run on HP 9000 Model J200 (under HP-UX 10.01) and on Sun   
SPARCstation 20 Model 712MP (under Solaris 2.5).  The   
compiler translates about 100,000 lines of code per minute   
on a 120-MHz Pentium-based PC, the company said.  ObjectAda   
for Windows includes the full Ada 95 core language and will   
compile all Ada 83 code without changes, according to the   
company.  The Professional Edition comes with a graphical   
user interface builder and a compiler that translates Ada   
sourse code into Java byte code.  The Enterprise Edition   
comes with MFC bindings, graphical libraries for plotting   
and drawing, DOS programming capabilities, support for   
Atria's Clear Case and a full support contract.  The   
Personal Edition comes with standard features.  The   
Professional, Enterprise and Personal editions were made   
available on September, 15, 1996.
