The owners did replace the executive management, for reasons unrelated to Ada. And they did shut down the Burlington office, but there were only 5 of us Ada junkies left there. Most of the remaining Ada work has been done in San Diego, and will continue to be, along with the UK and France. So, they're probably still viable. They certainly didn't fire most of the people with Ada experience. Though they probably lost some by getting rid of Dave Kehs, Ben Brosgol and myself. But there are still a pretty fair number of others around to carry the torch, if the company is willing. It was a purely financial decision. Your bosses should have bought more compilers ;-) - Ed Ex-Aonix Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
