There is, to my knowledge, no Ada vendor called GNAT :-)
No doubt Helmut meant to say Ada Core Technologies. ACT
specializes in providing 100% complete implementations of
both native and cross-systems and is the only vendor that
can supply 100% complete implementations of Ada 95,
including all the optional annexes. These complete
implementations are available for many systems, including
all those that Helmut mentioned, as well as several others,
including x86 Linux, Alpha VMS, NT/Interix, x86 Solaris,
and OS/2. All these are fully supported by Ada Core
Technologies, check our web site (www.gnat.com) for
details.
In general good advice is to go check the Web sites of
all major Ada vendors. For a complete set of Ada vendor
names, see the list of validated compilers, also a useful
source of direct information.
The bottom line here is that good Ada 95 compilers are
available for virtually all commonly used systems. Note
that the lists above did not include cross systems, but
here too there are many choices (for example, VxWorks/PPC
is available from at least four vendors). On most, but
not all systems, multiple different compilers are available
from different vendors, allowing you to choose the one most
suitable for your use. Furthermore this level of
competition keeps the Ada 95 market lively, and all vendors
are constantly improving their offerings.
At this stage, availability of compilers is not an issue
in adopting Ada 95!

P.S. this is a bit close to an ad, I know, but it seemed
appropriate to respond to the Rational post, which was
also a bit close. The distinction between information and
advertisements is not always clear! Perhaps we should have
a kind of joint "advertisement FAQ", that would contain
such notes from all vendors :-) Perhaps the other vendors
will also provide similar posts, and we can put them all
together to make that FAQ entry!
