I served on an advisory board for it. The organization of the INEL laboratory, particularly under Lockheed-Martin, was not favorable to commercialization. There was neither incentive nor support to transform this Ada 83 product into Ada 95. I believe that two of the major software engineers have gone into private enterprise and are using either the Ada or Modula 2 version to run web sites. I believe that the latest information is at http://sage.inel.gov/hpag_commerc.htm & http://sage.inel.gov/hpag_cd.htm The date for the latter is Sage-ST � - CD3 (December 1996).
