It would definitely be in the best interests of the big Ada vendors
for platforms like Unix to offer substantial educational discounts to
academic institutions. Meridian Ada and Ada/Ed are not enough for the
trickle-up effect to really take hold.
I doubt seriously that the discounts will happen, but when you look
at how Borland played the game in the beginning and offered discounts,
you can see that it pays off.
