I think the people at IBM (formerly Rational) that have been spearheading the Ada 2005 work would be surprised to hear that. As far as the website goes, IBM has so many software development products, it's amazing that you can find anything on it. It's unrealistic to expect them to highlight anything that doesn't fit in with the latest "hot" area (seems to be web services these days). I don't think any company that has a significant non-Ada business emphasizes Ada on their website -- which is just common sense (appeal to 90% of the programmers, or to 10%??). Randy.
