Yes, AdaSage had some excellent people behind it early on. Good
programmers, and good promotion. As far as I know, there is no
Ada 95 or Windows 95/98/NT version of AdaSage available commercially.
A couple of years ago AdaSage was at the Tri-Ada conference in St.
Louis. They seem to have disappeared. The company that took over
the commercialization of AdaSage has apparently dropped the ball.
Not surprising. I met with the person who claimed to be in charge
and realized that he had no clue about how to do commercial software
products.
Maybe there is still an AdaSage effort. It probably should be built
on top of CLAW for its user interface and preserve the good database
engine that made it so powerful for business applications. It also
needs someone in charge who has even the faintest idea of how to be
successful in the commercial world of software. Not likely to happen,
but stranger things have happened.
