"For VMS DEC had a deal with someone to bring GNAT to Alpha only
(VMS tools which don't also produce VAX code are not much use to
commercial software vendors).
"

Actually most users seem interested only in the Alpha product. However,
we are most interested in knowing who would be interested in a VAX
based Dec-83 compatible Ada 95 GNAT. When we have delivered the Alpha
prodcut, it is not that much more effort to make a VAX based version,
so if there is commercial itnerest, it will probably happen.
