Hmmm. We are doing a similar review here and have come up with 2 Pentium
RTOS's with good professional Ada (95) support - Phar Lap (Aonix) and VxWorks
(Green Hills).

If Ada support isn't a must, there's also VenturCom's RTX Windows NT
extensions. Someday an Ada vendor will support it (hint hint).

T.E.D.
