Texas Instruments (TI) announced today (May 6, 1996) that it was acquiring
Tartan, Inc. Tartan, one of the leading suppliers of Ada compilers, is a
developer of software development tools (primarily Ada) that work with digital
signal processing chips manufactured by TI. Dallas-based Texas Instruments is
the world's leading maker of digital signal processors, which are semiconductor
chips used in cellular telephones, hard disk drives, modems, and audio/video
equipment.

Rational Software, another prominent Ada software company, just passed the
billion dollar mark in market capitalization.

These are both extremely good news. The business environment surrounding Ada is
strong.
