Require Ada for DoD warfighting software; 2. Drop Ada requirement for other DoD software; 3. Invest $15M/year for Ada infrastructure - or drop Ada requirement entirely; 4. Embed programming language decisions into a Software Engineering Plan Review process. The rationale for these findings are contained in the on-line report.

These validations apply to: GNAT 4.00 SPARCstation 5 under Solaris 2.5.1 GNAT 4.00 SGI Power Indigo2 under IRIX 6.2 GNAT 4.00 SGI O2 under IRIX 6.3 These are the first validations from any vendor that cover 100% of applicable tests in not only the core language, but also in all the special annexes. The total number of unsupported tests is zero in all categories. GNAT is the only Ada 95 technology that fully supports all required features of the Ada 95 core language and annexes as defined in the international standard. For more information, contact: Nancy I.
