Compaq bought DEC - thus inheriting the DEC Ada83 compiler. DEC had contracted at some point with ACT to have GNAT ported to their hardware and basically used this as their upgrade path from Ada83. (Hence GNAT was the "official" DEC compiler at some juncture.) Did Compaq take the DEC Ada83 compiler and start upgrading it? If so, for what reason? (Seeing as how they had Ada95 available.) Or is this some completely unrelated product? If it doesn't target VMS, it doesn't seem to have much relevance to the original problem, so I'm rather guessing that it must be derived from the original DEC compiler.
