The company that developed the Ada Compilers was the German Company SYSTEAM AG that was lately acquired by ALSYS. Those compilers used DIANA. The person in charge of compiler development was Dr. Manfred Dausmann. He also wrote papers and books regarding to the subject. If anybody knows DIANA for sure he is. I don't know his current position nor location. I hope this information will be useful.
