DDC-I's contract provides for the development of an Ada compilation system based upon the "DACS-PC Windows NT to Pentium Cross Compiler System." For more information, contact: Jennifer C.

In the fast changing world of software, such interoperability is becoming an essential language feature. This is true for both simple code reuse and for interfacing to existing code during legacy code re-engineering. Probably no other contemporary language design has taken as much care in designing its facilities for interoperability as the 1995 Ada standard."
