DEC has chosen to halt development of their own Ada 9X compiler (at least
for now).  They will continue to support their Ada 83 compilers
as long as there is a market for them.  They have an agreement
with Rational to provide Apex on Alpha (OSF/1 and Windows/NT),
and Rational in turn has agreed to make the Alpha the "first-line"
host for Apex, meaning that new releases of Apex will appear
on the Alpha first, or at least no later than on any other platform.

This information is mostly from public announcements at Tri-Ada '94 and
elsewhere.  It is no secret...
